The 2007 ‘The Barkly’ Durif has a very deep garnet color with fragrant aromas of rose petals and Christmas cake over prunes, macerated blackberries, cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium to high acidity balances the rich, concentrated flavors. This is a full-bodied, medium to firm, chewy tannined wine with a long spicy finish. Drink now or keep through 2017. These fortified wines are all bottled to drink now. The extended solera aging process has rendered them relatively stable to changes and they can be stored for a good number of years.Importer: Click Wine Group, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
