Inky opaque closed nose needed long time in decanter to open up (it was better next day) finally showed distinct blue & black fruit, herbs, pepper/spice, Earth, with fine grained tannins in mid-palate, very soft & round, but finish was disjointed with an acidic astringency - atypical Barbera - maybe this got hot in transit?

Dry, excellent with blue cheese. Jammy, bright red fruit - but not over powering. Excellent!
