Bigger than most Barbarescos… earthy and dry, some must, some spice. Lovely on the tongue. Light florals. Not overpowering. Classic Italian tart / cran. Even a lemony finish.
X-Mas gift from Tom& Sal from Le Volpi e l'Uva, Florence… their Northern Italian Wine Club this year. The rest of the case is headed for the cellar. — 5 months ago

Had this one on the shelf for a while.
Classic Cali Cab. Big, earthy, sharp tannins that time has maybe softened just a touch..

Cellared a few bottles of this a while back.
Pulled one out when friends came over last night. Every bit as awesome as I recalled.

Love opening a bottle with no expectation and having hit your sweet spot.
unbelievably soft tannins. Velvet mouth feels. Touch of oak against tobacco / leather with enough fruit and just a kiss of sweetness to keep it from being overly earthy.
A little light bodied relative to peers.
This was nice. #Barsha — a day ago
