One of the nicer, more acid-driven and energetic Barberas I've had today.

Purple floral and spice on the nose. Blackberries, blueberries, creamy raspberries, cherries, a hint of dark chocolate, oak and a semi dry purple floral finish.

Picked this from a restaurant wine list. Delicate nose of cherries and roses. Medium- body, red fruit, earth and pepper on the palate. Medium finish.

Rich deep fruit and subtle softness. Simple but very tasty.

Ngt bättre parkvin med inslag av fat. Hallon, jordgubbar, surkörsbär. Ngt söt fatkryddig. Pigg syra, snälla tanniner.
