  A large (14.5%!) dark-fruited barbera with lots of stuffing and good acidity. While I think it's best days are probably behind it it's still very enjoyable thanks to that acid.

  Big Barbera. Dusty rubber on the nose with vegetables, spice and dark red and purple fruits. Good, bright acidity provides foundation and length. Not hard to finish this.

  Robust, complex dark berry fruit, with spice and chalky tannins. Fruit forward but very well integrated.
