Overoaked. Doesn't show any of the typical fruit forwardness of barbera. Difficult to discern any barbera qualities. Disappointing.

Very nice indeed. Cranberry and raspberry aromas mingle with light white pepper, dried leaves and a touch of stony minerality. Quite round for a Barbera, with fresh acidity, medium + tannins and a nice weight on the palate. Some length in the aftertaste, showing red fruit and savoury flavours. In very good shape at the moment, I think you could even wait another 3 years.

The nose plays in that delicious space between sweet and savoury. Berry fruits are crisp and direct and there's a cured ham meatiness and some earth. It is fresh and full in the mouth with plenty of flavour and a clean and bright finish. Lovely stuff.
