Community Tasting Note

    May 28, 2018 - Savory, brooding Barbera. Coravin'd day 1 and 2 and then opened. Round, open knit without being revealing. Rounded black cherry with a hint of more darkish fruit to pair with balsamic and earthier notes. Still manages levity. Nice without being overwhelmingly deep this is more ephemeral. Nice with food as well, terrifically versatile. Can see this continuing to shed fruit, but can't see why you'd wait really. Didn't really evolve more than about an hour in to any pour/opening.

    5/31/18, 6:00 AM - It's a good note - I had this just a couple of months ago and agree with much of what you said. As to the wine managing levity, I didn't find the wine quite as humorous.

    Thanks for writing - I really enjoy reading other people's notes on wines I know.
