I thought I would revisit this as I still have a few and saw it was way passed the drinking window. Holding up very well. Still fairly fresh. Cherry fruit with balanced acidity. Had it alone, but probably would be a little better with food. I suspect this could go a few more years if well stored.

Way past it's prime, I found it not pleasant to drink, and so did not.

Nice, fruity barbera. Nothing complex, but food friendly and pleasant.
