(Decanted for a couple hours.) Rolling aromas of rose hips and leather. Really nice precense on the palate with prism'ed fruit and a robust texture. Way more precise than I expected and no oak notes. Good penetration and a really elevated finish. Very complete, very Barba. Nice.

generally, i find the tannins, balance of la spinetta wines to be too angular for me, but this example had more expressive fruit, and a more rounded profile. solid performance.

This has aged beautifully, though I did have trouble with the cork.
