Agreed that this is a bit polished and international. Having said that, this is yummy. Unctuous chewy black and red fruit. Saddle leather, licorice, baked asphalt. Could use a spot more acid. But really this is very nice.

Remains solid and true to the varietal. Tastes a bit generic tonight however.

Dark, rich, powerful, but still lovely barbera. It needs food or a lot of decanting but it's delicious and not overly-made.

Fruity pleasant nose, acidic taste with wonderful mineral flavors, but hoping some if the bitterness mellows over a few years.

dark and inky, a serious wine that seemed young and tight to me. the nose is beautiful and rich but the wine is not very expressive right now.
