Appearance |
The wine Bàrbara Forés Negre is medium ruby with a violet rim. |
Nose |
Juicy, fruit-driven, and expressive, the blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah suggests aromas of ripe strawberries, blackcurrants and cassis, alongside notes of aromatic herbs, toast and spices. There is a dim mineral background with a smokey touch. |
Palate |
This wine of Celler Bàrbara Forés winery is intense and balanced, with a high acidity and some crunchy tannins. Remembrances of wild berries, herbs de Provence, spices and undergrowth. Medium, balsamic finish. |
Our personal opinion |
Fresh and savoury, the wine Bàrbara Forés Negre 2021 is a stunner from Terra Alta. |
