Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - A 'lost cellar' wine, this remains a lovely bottle of Barton which opened beautifully with a deep crimson colour and some bricking at the edge . There is a beguiling nose of blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, blackberry leaf and cedar. The palate was rich and ripe with a spherical impression of lovely black fruits leading into a cedar and mineral finish balanced by persistent fine tannins. This is in a perfect place and shows the strength of the 1990 vintage.
