Barrua 2005 Carignan blend, Sardinia, Italy

| | TrackBacks (0)
Another dark red, opaque, red wine from Italy. This one had dried fruits, figs, raisins, and such, on the nose. It was very typical old world, with nothing fruit forward, but absolutely delicious, and with thick, velvety tannins. A blend of Carignan(85%), Cab at 10% and Merlot for the balance. About $50. Tasted in November 2009.
