TN: Barbeito Terrantez Reserve

[Eric Ifune]

The Barbeito has a driven cork. It has a Green amber-gold color. Initially at opening, the Barbeito shows sweet citrus and dried fruit aromas. Butter toffee and a bit of VA. On the palate, the Barbeito is medium-light. Quite sweet. Smoky with more citrus. Long and rich. After several hours, it shows better balance. The acidity has come out. Still quite sweet.

The next day, it is still sweet and rich. Sweeter than most Verdelho's. Good depth and length.

On the second day, it has become a big, rich wine. Blind, I'd have guessed Bual. Good depth and length.
