  November 25, 2023 - Just lovely. Flirty, soft and fresh.
  More full body then expected,
  Sweet cherries, herbs, meaty tones and a lingering delicate astringency.
  
  Had with medium steak, butternut pumpkins, potatoes, mushrooms and a red wine jus.

  April 3, 2022 - Initially, wine had a reductive, smoky/sweaty sort of aroma that overshadowed fruit. That said, the acidity whips like a lasso and speaks clearly of Italy (general) and barbera in particular. I do not find oak.
  
  With some air, gave way to red cherry-like fruit. With more aeration there is even more finesse of aromas, almoat in a pinot-way combining a cherry, strawberry fruitiness with a violet-floral touch.
  
  I would not keep this for ageing, but it will probably last for approx 5 years without any detriment to quality.

  February 19, 2022 - In a great state now. Swell balance between fruit and tannins. Raspberries, black pepper, earthy. Balanced acidity and intensity.

  January 11, 2022 - Medelintensiv doft. Något unket som snabbt vädras bort. Lite fat (oklart om den fått någon fatbehandling men uppfattar bränt trä som jag förknippar med fat), röda körsbär, hallon. Inte särskillt komplex.
  Ganska kraftig smak, hög syra. På gränsen till obalanserad. Medium kropp med fina tanniner. Medel eftersmak.
  Najs ändå, men knappast publikfriande.

  April 10, 2021 - Very good with food. But there is usually wine left in the bottle when the meal is over, and I don't quite enjoy this as much on its own.
