  April 7, 2022 - Just not my style of Barbara perhaps. Juicy and acids upfront, on the palate its more juicy fruit with a strong cherry component. No earth or minerals to be found anywhere, but a hint of oak in the background.
  
  When I think of how totally different this wine is from a "real" Barbara grown in Italy, I just can't understand how anyone who knows that version will be able to like this version.

  On the palate- Bright tart cherry and red raspberry, fresh blackberry and dried herbs, forest floor and licorice with a hint of black pepper. This wine is drinking well being very young and I see it being able to age another 3-5+ years if not longer with no real problem at all.

  March 19, 2022 - Fleshy cherry on the nose, very pretty. On the palate the cherry fruit is perfectly ripe and the acid is good. I feel like I’m gonna get hit with a tartness on the mid palate but the wine goes down incredibly smooth. A pleasant experience!

  February 21, 2022 - A fruit forward version with NONE of the earthiness found in Italian versions. Sad. 87-
