  A positive surprise for both in terms of drinkability and aging potential. Think this can easily go another 5 years with no issues at the current aging curve. Very Italian on the nose and the palate but not clearly Piemontese in origin if I was blinded. A modern wine which is well made, if this ever saw new oak, there is no trace of it now. It had the classic Nebbiolo roses & tar on the nose and on the palate has a tinge of sweetness from the fruit and a bit of drying finish. Acidity is comparatively low for a Barbera and Nebbiolo blend and the finish is a bit on the shorter side. That being said, for the price, couldn't have asked for better. Drink or hold 5 years at the least.

  Opened a Magi and it was a spectacular suprise!
  Delicious, fruity still and well balance.
  I shared it with some strangers and they loved it!
  This bottle was much better than the previous bottle and makes me say more long than now!
  92+

  The window is not closed - still ripe, fruit, tart, tannin. Need two hours to become tasty. Went well pork chops.

  Really good. Dark berries, a bit of tea (could have used more), and some orange of all things. Really nice were the smooth tannins -- a bit sweet, and nicely mellow for such a strong wine. Acidity in proper balance.

  Really, really good; continually improved over the 2+ hours it was open. Fresh, med>full body, with medium density, sweet tannins, good soil notes, and plenty of fresh acids to balance the copious ripe fruits. If this bottle is characteristic, then this has another 8-10+ years of very good drinking ahead of it. Cork and fill in VG condition. 13,5% abv. recommended
