This is fantastic...but I wish I had waited another 5 years. Still lots of tannins. But this is glorious.

Vibrant fruit, leans towards the more delicate end of the barbera spectrum.

Best and most complex barbera I have ever tasted. Acidity is a bit restrained comparatively. The age has mellowed out the oak. There is a hint of eucalyptus among all the typical barbera notes that really makes this unique. Love it.
