  Vertical degustation of Barrua with Friends. Lineup: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015. Results: 2012 first ranked, 2010 second, 2015 third. 2011 was unfortunately corked.
  
  2015, a very good wine by any token and also the one that all tried as first, some thought it was too young, some thought it had less french grapes in the mix (that at least on the official web site is not disclosed). The only one where I could taste myrtle. 91 pts.
  
  2010, Superior to the 2015, more round, probably due to the age. It started showing signs of having reached its peak, still I would not hurry if I still had in store. I liked the well matured tannins. 93 pts.
  
  2012, By far the be best of the lot. I still wonder if it was only a particularly good vintage, cellar maturation or the wine makers did put additional attention on the 10-years jubilee edition. Fruit still very crisp, soft and well ripened tannins. 94 pts.
  
  Overall very consistent tasting profile of red fruits, liquorice, spices. Great quality. For the overall bottles that I tried, one corked is acceptable, pity I did not have a second 2011 to try in the same context.

  Deep ruby.
  Spice, plums, damsons on the nose this time ( I thought there were red fruits last year?!)
  Full bodied, well balanced.
  Also some game & leather on the palate.
  I enjoyed this more than last year, one bottle remaining.

  Opened in Miami.
  
  Pretty dead. Dark fruits and oak influence but not very much else. No garrigue and nothing that screams either Cannonau or Sardegna. No super obvious signs of heat damage either. Given the other positive reviews, I’m making as a flawed bottle until I try another one.
