Aging very well. Decanted, medium sediment. Notes and tastes of plum and spices. Well-balanced fruit and tannins, acidic but not overly so, well integrated overall.

Very dark concentrated color with a dramatic rim variation. S A brickish rim shows its maturity. Nose shows dried cherry light mocha. Palate confirms cherry with a wild blackberry.

Did not like this much compared to the 04. A significant improvement on day 3.

Fairly musky, more complex then I expected for Barbera. Drank over twi evenings and enjoyed both evenings. Good value
