Matavino Wines Barbera 2018, Matakana

Fruity, toasty, smoky and inviting bouquet of Barbera. Aromas and flavours of dark berries, dark spices and oak. A meaty quality contrasted with flavours of blue and black fruits, Persians spices and dark flowers. Medium+ tannins, acidity and weight with a dry finish. Youthful and needing cellar time, a nice wine to watch develop, integrate and mature. Decant for service with best drinking from late 2021 through 2026.
