I recently purchase six bottles of this lovely 1990 Barbera from Italy. I have been unable to find tasting notes or a rating. The 1990 vintage was rated 97 for the Piedmont region and the 1989 was also rated 97. The 1989 vintage of this wine received a 90 rating, but I can find no rating by WS or RP for this wine. Can someone help with tasting notes or a rating. I opened and drank with friends one bottle and it was delicious. The wine was decanted for an hour and gave off a beautiful aroma of smokey, toast and herbs. The color was almost black it was so deep a purple. It gave off deep, dark berry flavors, and the finishing taste lasted for many minutes in the mouth. Help please with a rating?
