I would not buy this wine again
Disappointed in Spectator top 100 wine. Although balanced the wine is not very flavourful or smooth. Not sure what the redeeming quality is to place in on the list

Best bottle I've had in a long while. Very easy to drink. Slightly fruity. Excellent with pasta, red meat...cheese and crackers!

Just went back to buy more--sad to see it's sold out. What a lovely, velvety red. Paired with gourmet beef chili tonight...could not have been a better match!

Tasty, but nothing special about it. Make sure not to open this bottle until late 2009/early 2010. Even after decantering for 1.5 hours it still was not what it could be with a bit more keeping. This wine has a nice plush deep ruby color and a taste that accompanies it. I tasted blackberry, chocolate, rhubarb and black cherry. On the nose I smelled cinammon a nice starchy smell to it like loaf bread. I liked it, but definately keep it for a while longer as you will not be able to enjoy it to the fullest otherwise.

The new release Briccotondo Barbera, 2006, is a delicious wine that far surpasses the previous vintage. The color is a vibrant ruby/purple with nice clarity. On the nose is the scent of black cherries, grape juice and plums. This is a medium bodied wine with lovely flavors of black cherries, plums, chocolate and nutmeg. This wine as ample acidity and well rounded tannins to add to the overall complexity. The finish is long and seductive. This wine was so delicious; we managed to finish of the whole bottle throughout the evening.
