Community Tasting Notes 6

  December 23, 2012 - Simply put, the best Barbera I have ever had. The color was an intense blackish purple with thin edges. The nose was full and fruity with lots of mild spice and some earthiness. This is a big Barbera with a ton of lucious fruit yet it sits lightly on the tongue and finishes with layer after layer of fruit and silky tannin. I tasted this wine (not sure of the year ) at the winery in 2007 and it was wonderful then but this bottle at 6 years old was even better and in my judgement had years of life left in it-- my guess at least 10 more years.

  N: Red licorice apple wood and granny smith apple skins. Fuzzy smell.
  T: Light apple wood smoked...licorice. Chocolate cherry cordials.
  F: Long for a light wine. Mild tannins.
