  Drank over three nights. Good 1 and 2, not so much day 3. Black cherry, red fruit, some earth and wood, more across palate than nose, balanced acidity, a bit of grip on first opening. Better with food than alone. As others noted, I go back and forth on this, have had better Barberas, but did enjoy the fruit pop.

  About same impression as last bottle,maybe a tad better, nice red fruit, black cherry, some substance with light earth, wood, balanced with good acidity to keep fruit interesting. Drank over 3 nights, held up well.

  Middle of the road barbera, some nice red fruit but not quite the richness, acidity, or layers to excel. See how next bottle fares, given some reviews suggesting there may be more there, somewhere.

  Not nearly as good as the past bottle. The vibrant, high toned nature remains but the fruit has faded unfortunately. Not a lot of pleasure here. Needs food badly. Sweetens some with 24 hours of air but not nearly enough. (83)
