April 10, 2023 - Splendide intensité du bouquet fait de vanille,fruits rouges (cerise,framboise),épices douces...C'est vraiment enivrant et exaltant...La bouche embraie sur cette très belle impression avec une structure forte,bien présente mais tout est délié:le vin se livre totalement,les tanins sont fondus,le fruit est magnifique.Longueur appréciable.Ce barbera est tout simplement grandiose.

July 18, 2020 - Attention getting nose; beautiful ruby color with no sediment; black raspberry on the palate with some acid and a lemon rind twist on a modest but pleasing finish.
Paired nicely with pasta and a basil/tomato sauce. -

April 1, 2020 - Mid ruby colour with a browning rim. Aromas of wet bark, liquorice stick, moist earth/compost and sour cherries. There is a softcore of fruit with a red cherry paste or pastille, medium in weight, vibrant acidity, making the wine feel tart yet fresh, but then a syrup overlay creeps in showing the wine evolution. It has seen better days. Luckily the last bottle.
