From Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2004 Barrica was aged for 7 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it exhibits a touch of smoke and vanilla from the oak treatment as well as blueberry and blackberry. This is followed by a ripe, fruity wine with fine depth and balance and a pure finish. It is an excellent value." (02/07) From Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Dark red. Spicy cherry and blackberry aromas are brightened by baking spices and fresh flowers. Suave, silky and sweet, with deep red fruit favors, soft tannins and building sweetness. Finishes clean and persistent. This has terrific immediate appeal." (Jul/Aug '08) From Wine Spectator: "A smooth texture and well-integrated tannins give this red an appealing elegance. Cherry, vanilla and light herbal flavors are bright and lively. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases imported." (11/07)
