  Opened two hours in advance of dinner then slowly consumed over the next two. The nose is blackberry and raspberry. The palate was red and black berries, figs, sweet pipe tobacco and hints of spices. The finish was long and accentuated the tobacco.

  This is one beautiful bottle of wine. I bought these at wine dinner in October of 2013 and just recently found the box in the mess of a cellar where I store some of my wine. Opened two hours in advance of dinner then slowly consumed over the next two. The nose is blackberry and raspberry. The palate was red and black berries, figs, sweet pipe tobacco and hints of spices. The finish was long and accentuated the tobacco and perhaps a touch of truffle. At $39 a bottle that I paid for it the QPR is off the charts.

  Tasted via coravin. At first a little primary with plenty of black cherry in evidence. Finish a bit dry for my taste. However with some time the tannins have rounded out and more interesting sweet cured meat type aromas have come forward. Lovely stuff but could do with a bit more time I think.

  Brownbag in Göteborg by Finewines.se (Göteborgs Vinkällare): What a great timing for reaquainting me with this one. Of course I mistook it for a Sangiovese...
  It speaks Italian with its happy acids, cherry fruit and charm. The intensity for great pleasure with food is there!
  Decision made: a few weeks of Barbera indulgence in the summer. I really need to learn this grape some day...
  
  (Would probably have yielded more, had it been decanted a little more. Because this was one of the last wines I returned to and found it had grown.)
