René Barbier Reserva 1994

Hi all,
I’ve received a bottle of this wine as a gift. Has anybode tasted? Any opinion? The backlabel says it’s a blend of CS and Tempranillo.

Thanks and regards,

Jose

What a peculiar gift!!! 94 vintage was so-so in Penedes and this trade mark is… quite simple…. So not very good expectations… however just open the bottle and tell us!!!

I don’t think you will confuse it for Clos Mogador.

It’s the budget wine of the winery. Anyhow I uncorked the bottle and it’s converted in an ugly vinager :-(

Thank you for your answers and regards,

Jose

Nothing to do… the family of René Barbier lost the trade mark years ago because of some financial problems… and now is property (I think so) of Torres Group….

René Barbier fill (i.e. the son of the original René Barbier in Penedès) makes Clos Mogador. The René Barbier referenced on the label of your bottle is the father, although neither father nor son has anything to do with the wine now. This is sometime a source of confusion - until one opens the bottles and compares the wines.
