    Consistent with previous. Amazing depth and persistence to this wine. The Barbera fruit is the engine which drives this wine, but the floral musk and inky brazen-ness are the carriage which makes this special.

    Dense and dark colour. Heavy nose with berries and musky floral. Dense on the palate with a lot of weight. Good acids, a tannic mid-structure and a great persistence. Lots more fruit keeps rolling off. Some tar, smoke and ink intermixed. Intense.

Wow I had no idea these could age successfully for 1800 years, impressive! :wink:

Pizza night tonight. Itchy for some Barbera…

Took me to this morning to figure out what you meant.

If post you multiple tastings notes from the same wine, CT doesn’t put a title on the post.

203 was a great year for Barbera!

Seriously, I love this wine. One of my favorite Barberas.

Wasn’t this pushing 16% or something like that? Or am I thinking of another 03 Barbera?
