Youthful but already giving a lot, this is the greatest Baracca produced so far, and likely ever. Astonishing aromatic complexity on the nose where grilled Meyer lemons, honey dew melon, autumn pear and papaya fruit are complemented by oriental spice, loads of greenish herbs and wet chalky soil additions. On the palate, it wraps you in a luxury cashmere blanket where hints of barrel tannins add depth to the lush, perfectly ripe lemons and juicy green apple flavors, expanding in a rarely seen fashion. Multi-layered and crazy long, this sets a new standard not only for Miani and the region as such, but also for the variety, as this sort of complexity arrives very seldom and when it does, it usually addresses Burgundy's finest Crus. Amazing length bringing freshly squeezed lemon juice and chalky spice,, adding lift and sincere interest. Surpassing any Chardonnay in my life, so far. 100 p. — 9 years ago
Mid gold, lemon and cashmere wool, dry, good acidity, this is an unctuous, luscious, generous wine with mellow depth, and fruitfulness, completed by a long, spicy finish.
A classic! — 9 years ago

The cork was all messed up, but the wine was amazing. I am at Taste of of India! The wine is amazing. It is Freemark Abbey 2011 cabernet sauvignon. The color is black and purple with no light passage. The legs are long, slow, and thick. It is 13.5%. The bouquet is gardenia and plum with a hint of raisin - rem I just had chicken Cashmere at Taste of India. The initial palate is blackberry and green apple. There is a hint of rhubarb pie. The finish is long and reminds me of granny smith apples and spice. There is a hint of black pepper dark chocolate . This is a great wine!!!!!
It is very dry. I need water after every sip. — 8 years ago

Ripe spicy and luscious, with a texture of well, not really silk or velvet. Perhaps cashmere. 14.5% alc. Still a puppy - tannins dominate the finish, though not overwhelming the fruit. Or the cashmere. — 10 years ago

Elegant loved the texture! Like a cashmere coat. 👌🏻 — 9 years ago
Superb in ever sense. Deep ruby color is only surpassed by the deep blackberries with a hint of spice. One pro described the finish as liquid cashmere. Precisely but not a long finish but it is unending. — 9 years ago
The ratings for this cashmere in a glass red are way too low. It is a quintessential Cabernet Franc that is a great complement to red meats as well as meaty fish like sockeye salmon. Just superb with a nice long velvety smooth finish. — 9 years ago
Low tannins, dry, smooth, lush. Still acidic, cashmere. — 9 years ago

Brought by CR. Words escape me. Still a baby but the texture of this wine was like the finest cashmere sweater you've ever touched wrapped around your tongue. Supple, precise, elegance, finesse and a backbone that promises great things in due time. Ethereal nose. Thank you Christophe! — 8 years ago
