A very brave new offering at Il Barreto, Paddington for $175. Initial barnyard bouquet (mostly) blows off. A superb vintage wine at it’s peak. It is proving very hard to find at retail in this country.

The buttercups have unraveled and the anemones are in full bloom. Beautiful. This one is a real treat. Rich, ruby hue and bouquet of pomegranate, a perfume of clove and leather.
The deep, beet red flavor of pomegranate (again) and a bracing acidity. This really opens up with time, but it’s just so fun and energizing to gulp down. To savor. To sip.

Absolutely incredible. Blackberries that I think are common in barbera - but cocoa for the win. Luscious and full, still acidic to clean up afterward. Last bottle in the restaurant, and thanks to Sebastian the sommelier.
