2002 Michele Chiarlo Barfbera d'Asti

[hotwine]

An absolutely gorgeous Barbera nose, offering promise of heaven on earth, then...... wha'? Reminds me of the TV commercial of several years back, with the little ol' blue-haired lady asking, "Where's the BEEF?" Light's on but nobody's home. Maybe if it warms up to 70F it will come around, but patience ain't one of my (too few) virtues. About $10 and 13% alc/vol.
