Barbour Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2010

Displays a near-perfect combination of power and finesse that promises to deliver hedonistic enjoyment now + soar to great heights over the next 7 – 10 years . We sampled this wine from the bottle once upon opening and once after leaving it open for several hours. Out of the shoot, the 2010 Barbour is rich and complex, exhibiting notes of cassis, blackberry, and espresso. Well-integrated tannins suggest huge aging potential and it delivered a gorgeous finish marked by cinnamon, nutmeg, and blackberry liqueur. Re-tasting the next day, we were even more impressed. Definitely cellar-worthy; definitely delicious now. rare treasure with an impressive pedigree. Enjoy now after decanting or anytime through 2020.
