Community Tasting Note

• dbenglis Likes this wine: 94 points

  July 23, 2016 - I opened, filtered and decanted. Earth early, later more black fruit on the nose. Well balanced, supple, mid palate has a nice acidity. I thoroughly enjoyed. The Barton Family can be proud of this particular year.

The black fruit was noticed in the initial pour appx. 30 minutes in. The glasses were Falto Denkart universal. The 2nd glass was even better from the decanter after appx an hour or so. Best, David
