Really outstanding mature bottle of Barrosa blend here, blue fruit, eucalyptus with and oak treatment that is just seamlessly integrated after 20 year, went great with the lamb roast tonight, nothing over the top, excellent and in a very good place currently.

Bouquet and flavors of earthy, mint, blackberry, dark tobacco and dark chocolate. Very fine, dry tamnins. Smooth long finish. Nicely aged though lost some forward fruit but maintained its overall character when first tasted after its release. Was expecting a bit more from the aging.

So, a bit late to this per CT Drinking Windows, this still has years left in my opinion and it was a huge wine overall, quite a blockbuster when all is said and done - Dark, full bodied with notes of blackberry, currant, plum, sandalwood, mint and vanilla, sweet, yet dusty tannins still prevalent, very full and long on the palate, really really nice overall and once again, years left, no hurries no worries (93 Points).

Mjög dökkt. Magnaður berjaangan. Bragðmikið með nokkrum tannínum. Silkimjúkt, en ekki mjög langt eftirbragð.

Dark purple, very unique and elegant bouquet, full bodied with soft tannin and medium finish.
