Tasting notes

Dark brick-red colour. The nose shows an old Barbera with evolved fruit. Earth, mushrooms, light oxidative notes. Some dark berries. Still quite fullbodied Barbera in the mouth. The fruit shows some light oxidation and is highly evolved with mushroomy, earthy notes. This is getting tired now. Still it shows some depth with fine floral notes. This probably did not see much oak. Fine acidity. Little tannins in the back. Still gives pleasure, but better 5 years ago. Good.
