Eye: dark red to purple, almost no transparency Nose: fresh dark fruit, earth, a little bit tar, acid Palate: well balanced tannins, besides the fruit and acid also some protective warmth (can't describe it any better)

Decanted thru screen and drank over next 3 hours. Opaque plum color. Dark fruits -- plum, blueberry -- with some spice and earthy overtones. Long finish, but it is tangy/tart, not smooth. Better as a food wine than for drinking. All in all, decent wine with good QPR.

Herbal nose that reminds me of southern rhone wines. Palate has a lot of fruit, some peppery spice, hints of licorice, and great minerality. Crisp acidity. Mighty tasty.

Fruit forward, good acid, kicky. Good everyday drinker. Gets plummy in middle. Like others well save some for tomorrow.

This is a very nice barbera with plenta of acidity, raspberries & cherries on the nose, and a very pleasant finish. Fantastic with food.
