The deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 Barbarossa (aged in barrel for 10-12 months) exhibits a sweet bouquet of sweaty leather intermixed with earthy black fruits, vanilla, and meat. Medium to full-bodied, mouth-staining, and substantial, without being coarse or over the top, it should drink well for 5-6 years. Importer: Dominic Nocerino, Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel.
