Score: Robert Parker 90/100
"The Barahonda Roble 2008 presents notes of smoke and lightly roasted herbs, accompanied by incense, lavender, blackberry and blueberry compote make this complex bouquet literally leap out of the glass. Structurally sound and luscious on the palate, it's a lovely gift cut for pleasure that will give complete satisfaction over the next 5-6 years. It's extraordinary value for money ".

Note and review by M. BERNARD A. Published on 21/01/2013
A remarkable wine with a crimson color, a nose of red fruit and a deep, silky mouthfeel. A real surprise!
