Note di degustazione
The 2018 Barda saw 60% of the volume matured in concrete to keep the freshness and crunchiness of the Pinot Noir fruit in the wine, and the rest was in barrels for eight months. It's lighter than 2017, which was very concentrated given the extremely low yields, and the wine goes back to the balance of previous years (with normal yields); there's great harmony and purity here. The palate is fresh, the flavors are clean and pure and there is great length. There's great energy. It has to be one of the finest vintages of Barda. This is an incredible value, a great Pinot Noir from Río Negro at a very attractive price point. 2018 saw good yields, and they were able to produce around 100,000 bottles.

Pale crimson. Precise nose with lot of herbs and gentle red fruits, more on the leafy, truffley side than overtly fruity. Lovely sweetness of fruit and thyme with redcurrant spice. Grows on the palate, it is elegant and graceful with nice intensity – soft tannins – a very attractive style. (AC)
Full medium red. Red cherry, plum and raspberry aromas are lifted by spices, pepper and herbs. At once supple and juicy, showing lovely spicy/peppery lift to the middle palate. Adamantly dry but with plenty of red fruit intensity complicated by notes of earth and meat. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and good spicy lift. As in most vintages, this is a nuanced, very fresh Pinot Noir for its price range.
Elegant red fruit with cherry and blueberry on the nose. Very primary, with a confected edge to the style. (RH)
