  Was going to write up something but @Bam-man below hit the nail on the head. So, see below (even 10 years later, it’s a solid summary). Great wine to get lost in conversation over because it’s simplicity - yet delicious!

  Consistent with prior notes. Still drinking nicely. A plum and boysenberry fruit bomb with a mild acidity and an attractive, stony minerality on the finish. Not especially complex, but very enjoyable. It's like Italian Beaujolais.

  Excellent value. Muted fruit gives way to nice balance and finish. Drink now

  Consistent with my prior notes. A very nice, straightforward Barbera. Lots of tangy plum and vanilla character on the nose and palate. Nicely focused with a gentle acidity, there's also a touch of oak on the moderately long finish. Not a lot of complexity, but very enjoyable and easy to drink. Year after year this Chiarlo Barbera is an excellent value.
