From magnum. Big and concentrated. Good but really needs more time esp from 1.5L. Lots of dark fruits, blackberries, leather, charcoal and saddle. Moderate complexity. A good quality Barbera. Consistent notes.

From a magnum. Rather tired and flabby in the beginning, but it put itself together, and became more structured an hour after decanting. Lots of tannins for a Barbera.

From mag. Decanted an hour or so and this was really nice right from the start. Deep and rich flavors. Wonderful texture. Dark fruits, blackberries, black cherries, some leather and ash. Well balanced wine and quite elegant. For the price an amazing wine. Very impressed.

lots of dark fruit, anise and violets. But a drying finish and a little oak poking out, which I imagine will settle down in time. The dry finish is a little confronting, but decent value for what it is.

Superb Barbera d'Alba. Licorice, roses, deep black cherry. Supple and saturated flavors. Easy to enjoy.
