November 9, 2022 - Extraordinarily funky. For a moment i thought it was a natural wine with something strange growing in it. I hope it was a defective bottle since I have another in the cellar.
October 22, 2022 - Pretty much consistent with previous note but a notch up in terms of funkiness. Really dirty and animalistic.
June 18, 2022 - A little bit more animalistic, bretty, this time. Maybe not quite as good as previous bottle because not quite as clean, but still eminently drinkable, engaging wine. More focus on the syrah this time time, more black olives, blackberries and meat. If there was ever a perfect Bistrot wine this would be in for a shout of being that.
February 19, 2022 - 闻香有淡淡动物皮毛味，紫罗兰和酸梅粉的香气，一些胡椒气息，入口酸度高，单宁紧致，如细沙般铺满口腔，酒液咸鲜，湿石头，湿树叶，一些烟熏质感，话梅的酸咸和回甘，微氧化风格的酒，杨梅汁，沙枣的香味，后段香料辛辣，余味香料感。Leon Barral 家标志性的结构感和香料感，偏自然酒的酒体但风格咸鲜严肃，果香再活跃一些就更加完美。
January 8, 2022 - Plums and dark cherries fill the palate. The tannins were present, but not overpowering.
Its drinking very well upon opening, and it was a satisfying end to the night.
August 20, 2021 - Deep dark cherry - perfectly mature, garnet colour
March 1, 2021 - Lots of personality. Plums, blackberry, iron, blood, earth, herbs. Tannins got some grip but juicy and of good quality. Animalistic and earthy aftertaste. Really good now in a direct and forward way but more elegance and depth to come.
September 28, 2020 - Raspberry and stewed plums on the noae, natural, authentic, flavors of beef jerky, raspberry, blackberry, spice and earth, deep, juicy, lengthy finish, distinct, tannic, drinks well now but lots of stuffing for aging in the cellar
August 26, 2020 - Loved this - deep and earthy and stewed plummy fruit. Great with cheese or a good book.
August 23, 2020 - Wow! Not that experienced in Barral but this vintage is superb. So fresh and floral while meaty and fruity (blackberry and black cherry), with a nice salty licorice ending. None of the brett that I thought was a given with Barral.
