February 4, 2024 - The enamel-stripping tannins have subsided, so I'll take that as a win. Intensely fruity, bursting with bright raspberry. It's almost TOO fruity, really, like that one aspect of its personality has been amped to the Nth degree. Feels a bit out of balance as a result. Nice mineral underpinning though.

January 4, 2021 - This is incredibly tightly wound right now. Super bright, high-toned red fruit, intense acidity, and taut tannins. Without doubt the most energetic Barbera I've ever had. It's quite good, but it's screaming out of the gate. Needs time to settle down.
