  Big and pleasant surprise.
  This has a fine and mature nose, with stable, wet soil, damp forest floor, wet hay, leather, tobacco, mushrooms and a hint of black truffles.
  Very nice and pleasant.
  On the palate very good acidity, fine dry fruit, fine grinned tannins, good structure with a lovely sweetness and some earth on the finish.
  A very fine aged and alive Barbera indeed.

  13.5% - clear, med- brick with an orange rim / clean, med+ intensity, blackcurrant, wet soil - black truffle, liquorice and light vanilla / dry, med+ acidity, med body, med+ somptuous tannins, nicely balanced, med+ intensity with a med+ to long finish. This is austere but has a good structure. A 90-93 range - Will see after decanting it...
  This grape juice evolved in the right direction when it oopened up and was a pleasant surprise.
