Deep ruby but showing some amber notes with age. The smells are glorious:flowers, red fruits, minerals and black licorice. Could easily be mistaken for Nebbiolo. Even more echoes of Nebbiolo in the mouth. Tannic dryness on mid-palate. getting sweeter toward the finish. The winemaker recommends drinking this Barbera within the first five years of its vintage date, but this eight-year-old is showing quite well. For about $15 a bottle at D&w in Kalamazoo, it's an exceptional value.
