Definitely had better vintages from this wine. Still good, just not as amazing as early 2000s.

A bit rose, spicy. Concentrated. Tannic and acidic. Violet. No need to wait for long. @350/G(1600), Boboli, 200123

2015 La Spinetta Ca d’Asti Barbera. My fave Barbera. Tons of fruit, nice tannins and structure, easy to drink.

Tannins too strong, and very little fruit. Kind of harsh for Barbera d’Asti

Blueberry, boysenberry, slight tar, nice acidity, but silky.

Agree with the critics. Tastes a bit like merlot but less refined.

C'est bon sur des arômes de mûres confitures. Encore de lastringence en bouche. Moins impressionné que le 2013. Sans doute à faire vieillir quelques années

Cibo Grille, Ft Myers, with Lee and Raul. Similar to a Pinot Noir. Acidic, complex, lighter. Would order again.
