Holy crap. Bold, complex, really good 2008. In a magnum, maybe that helped this wine age so well over the years. Knockout wine. — 9 years ago

Never seen this Barrell 27 before. Also, it was priced at $28.99 but We got it for $15.99 so it was a steal. Not sure of the blend but it was pretty good. I think the other Barrel 27s are a bit better though. — 11 years ago

Love this white Rhone blend. — 10 years ago
I love this producer and would put them in my top three estates in the country. This is their entry level Cabernet and god its good, so good! This for $27 or there about's is of the charts! It's straight Cabernet that is not released until 5 years after vintage. It just tastes so good!!! 8 years old and probably another 5 years left in the tank so to speak. I would almost put this wine/producer as my desert island wine!!! 96/100 — 11 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Sweet nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices, chocolates, mocha, coffee, cocoa, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied and bold with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Sweet on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cherry pie, figs, raisins, vanilla, oak, licorice, cloves, spices, alcohol, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, earth, peppercorn and coffee.
Long sweet finish.
This portogese Port is always enjoyable. Well balanced with nice complexity.
Not too complex, but very enjoyable by itself. Showing a bit too much alcohol on the palate and better a bit chilled.
I paired it with chocolate covered pomegranates.
20% alcohol by volume.
