  December 11, 2023 - Not a big fan of barbera but liked this one. The fruit is lovely and the oak well balanced. Thanks Ed!

  October 15, 2023 - Penultimate bottle from a 6 pack.
  Juicy and tasty, enjoyed with pizza during the Bengals' win today.
  Bright acidity and ripe red and blue fruits. Drink over the next year or so.

  July 31, 2023 - From a very good vintage that started with a good spring without too much rain, then a dry summer and a fresh autumn. Harvested 2nd week of September. Pretty nose, aromatic. So much fresh hedgerow blackberry and tart red cherry on the palate! Some blueberry and black cherry notes too. Lovely lift on the finish. Lots of acidity but not unbalanced. Surprisingly long. Throws quite a sediment. 6 years in, this has the stuffing for a good while yet. Fabulous with pizza or a good meaty pasta dish. Very good QPR and a lovely wine.
