Dark blackberry and currants, tobacco, dark olive and acid. Very good and holding up well.

Serious Barbara, acid, fruit, great. Young I think similar to certain cheaper options, but withy the balance this will live longer than most

A 2008 and delivers pure primary fruits in palate and nose. Some hints of semi-washed coffee beans and ripe red plums. Perhaps a tad high in alcohol.

Opened for a day and delivering it's beautiful youthful purity of fruit. Tannins have settled and are somewhere in the background while it's natural juicy bright acidity takes over. Some blueberry notes in there too but mainly rich and red fruited. Solid flavour intensity and too easy to drink

Rasberry blueberry mix. Concentrated... Barberas ability to age is a little known gem, and this one in partic will last a long time
