Pertinace Barbera d'Alba 2012

Ratings on Delectable

Patch Manning

Very closed early with moderate sediment so decanting is recommended. Little nose of wet leaves. Moderate acidity, low tannins. Surprisingly light palate with the acidity dominating. Some unripe fruits or berries but quite subtle. Overall left wanting. Would probably pair pretty well with fatty fish such as salmon or perhaps thinly sliced cured meats. Easily over powered......."age ingrat"? Might be better with further age.

Needs more time in the bottle. A lot of the right stuff, but not enough time. Dusty dry
