Barahonda Barrica Tinto (Monastrell - Syrah) 2019 (750ml) Rattlesnake HillsLurid ruby. Ripe black and blue fruits, cola, vanilla and potpourri on the deeply perfumed nose. Smooth and sweet on entry and then tighter in the midpalate, offering bitter cherry and blueberry flavors and hints of vanilla and spicecake. A smoky nuance emerges with aeration and carries through the long, gently tannic finish, which echoes the vanilla note.
