Such a good Barbers. Gorgeous berry and cherry fruit. So pure. Floral and a bit grapey. Hint of rubber. Leather. Love it. So classic. Palate is ripe and juicy with lovely zippy freshness. Wonderful mouthfeel and just a wonderful gulpful of fruit. So lively and energetic.

Nose has washed cherries, sliced cherries, wet violets, old licorice candy and tanned leather. A trailing note of alcohol heat, but seems to be dissipating with more air. (14% ABV)
Palate has sweetened-dried cherries, well stored cigar, dry-crushed granite and moist soil. Velvety smooth, yet energetic on the finish (velvet Elvis painting comes to mind), minerals linger on the very long finish. Classy. Decanted +2H.

Juicy, spicey, rich yet energetic. Red cherry fruit glides along the palate backed up by nice mineral and earthy sweetness and huge minerals. Delicious. Really pays to age some wines 2-3 years.

Mad love for this. Cherry. Cherry licorice. Licorice finish. But perfect balance. One of the most delicious wines of the year. Brighter than most superiores. I could drink a case of this... In a night. Had it with chicken with juniper berry sauce. Amazing. In a rational world anyone with space would buy 5 cases a year. Bought from fass selections.
