The 2021 Cannonau di Sardegna Barrosu is dark and brooding, with a backward blend of savory herbs, wilted violets and steeped plums forming its bouquet. This is intensely spiced, maybe too much so, striking the palate with piercing acidity and depths of tart wild berry fruits that saturate deeply. It finishes long and staining with a licorice twang and sour cherry hints that slowly fade.
