A forlorn hope success. I love Rose with a few years.

Very nice Barbera, especially considering No sulfur added. Whole cluster fermentation lends it excellent tannin structure without too much green. Nice Boysenberry fruit and tarry reductive notes.

Started unsettled with a streak of acid. Settled down into a classic barbera, up front fruit, class.

This is ridiculous. I love Barbera in general & this #rarecreature has finesse & power to spare.

Maybe never drinking a Barbera again unless it's this one.

Full expression on Day 2, unfortunately, not patient enough for more to imbibe. At only 23 cases not much to go around

Unfortunately the bottle was either corked or flawed. Almost no nose or flavor just an astringent finish.
