The 1998 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Majnano exhibits spicy new oak, concentrated, opulently-textured flavors redolent with cherry and strawberry jam as well as new oak. Ripe, full-bodied, and super-concentrated, this is another surprisingly voluptuous Barbera to drink over the next 7-8 years. It is a very good value given the wine's quality.

Really delicious. Loads of milk chocolate and crushed fruit in this wine. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, succulent finish. Drink now through 2003. 580 cases made.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
