Dark! Medium bodied, dry, plenty of acid, not so tannic, doesn’t linger, not a lot of body. Lots of oak, cherry, tomato, jammy. Seems like a French wine? Not as good as De Forville Dolcetto or Nebbiolo.
UPDATE: Had another bottle a few weeks later, raised rating from 8.8 to 8.9, seemed more savory, leathery, and with more body than original rating.
UPDATE 2: had again May 2018. Raised rating to 9.1. Keeps getting better. Nice leathery body olives, prune. Good acid, not so tannic.

Tart, underripe berries with a touch of funk. Pretty much exactly what I want bargain Barbera to be. And from Barberesco, no less! Excellent value.
