Community Tasting Note

96 Points

Friday, December 7, 2012 - What a beautiful Barton....dark red in color (teeth staining).. This was my first bottle of 6. Nose: Intense with floral, ripe dark berries, tobacco and earth tones. Palate: Dark ripe fruit, leather, tobacco, crème de cassis and minerals. The acidity keeps everything in balance here and gives the fruit freshness. The tannins are integrated nicely at this stage. This still has the structure to age for a long time. I urge people to find and taste this wine. Cheers!!
