This is superb, older barbera. Granted its been in a very cold cellar, but still, superb. Aromatics are roch and deep and the fruit is becoming muted, but all that big acidity has subsided into secondary and tertiary flavors. I'll take it all day long.

Not much nose, a bit austere, minerals, red cherry (I didn't get black like WS review), cloves, licorice, tannins linger, solidly in the Barbera family as I know it
