Barbera Tasting

[RAD]

Scoop's recent post, "Vietti strikes again," and my own comments to it, prompted me to undertake a Barbera tasting of my own. So, my wife and I picked 2 from our collection, and then ran over to Garnet here in NYC and picked up 2 more. Here's what we're tasting tonight:

1995 Bovio Barbera D'Alba "Regiaveja"
1997 Bovio Barbera D'Alba "Il Ciotto"
1997 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barbera D'Alba Monforte Bussia (WS 85)
1998 Vietti Barbera D'Alba Tre Vigne

We're looking forward to it! Just uncorked the bottles--the '97 Bovio actually shows some seepage through the cork; we'll see. Thanks for planting the seed, Scoop! We'll post our notes after dinner. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
