The 2009 Barbera d'Asti Tabaren is an attractive, fleshy wine with lovely fruit and fine overall balance. The Tabaren can at times be a touch angular, but in 2009 the wine has lovely juiciness and plenty of inner perfume. It is best enjoyed while the fruit remains vibrant. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.
