Profile and evolution of the bottle

Although there are few notes from the major Anglo-Saxon institutional critics for this particular cuvée, feedback from professional tasters and seasoned enthusiasts on CellarTracker and Vivino describes a wine that has aged remarkably well:
• Nose: Opens with a complex tertiary bouquet of old leather, smoky notes (potpourri), gentle tobacco, and stewed black fruits.
• Mouth/Palate: The tannins are now fully melted. The Barbera's naturally high acidity has acted as an excellent preservative, keeping the wine very fresh, juicy, and balanced despite its more than 20 years of age.
