The nose is fruity and offers great concentration and complexity. It reveals notes of bright cherry and raspberry with touches of violet and a slight hint of star anise and licorice. The palate is fruity and layered with nice juiciness, intensity and body. This wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, luscious currants, and notes of plum, tobacco with hints of toasted almond and a subtle hint of vanilla. The tannins are well integrated. Good length, nice finesse in its richness and acidity. 100% Barbera
