Lea & Sandeman review
Another really expressive vintage for Peter Barlow characterised by violets, mint, coffee and blackberry which dominate the aroma, carrying to the palate, where they combine with smooth layers of fine-grained tannin.Other reviews and comments
The flagship 2007 Peter Barlow is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon from vines planted in 1990. The wine was raised in 64% new oak, the remainder 2nd and 3rd fill. It has an intriguing bouquet of roasted herbs, tobacco and a touch of dark chocolate and good definition. The palate is very well balanced with ripe plum and black currant on the entry. The black fruit is interlaced with dried herbs and fresh tobacco with firm and grippy tannins. It displays impressive weight towards the bold, structured finish and this 2007 is only just beginning to show what it can do. Drink 2014-2022.
93/100
