Batasiolo Barbera d'Alba Sovrana 2003

Piedmont, ItalyBig meaty, smoky, mocha, peppery, black cherry and cigar aromas with a prune note. Ripe, round, rich palate with slightly grainy tannins. Lots of black cherry, prune/plum, white pepper, tobacco and mineral flavours. Finish is a bit hot, dry and chunky but good fruit and acidity. Needs a few years to round out. Try with lamb or roast bird.Tasted: 31 October 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
