2022 Domaine La Barroche 'Liberty' Rouge, Vin de France

“A solid, focused and flavorful red with dark plum, blackberry, cedar and baking spice aromas. Full-bodied with plush tannins. Fleshy and full of verve, with a flavorful, compact and driven finish. Drink from 2027.” Review Date: April 2025

“Bottled in May 2024, the 2022 Vin de France Liberty is a medium- to full-bodied red that elegantly frames ripe strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, licorice and fresh violets in its inviting aromatic profile. Round and seamlessly concentrated, the savory 2022 has developed nicely since I tasted it from barrel earlier this year. This can be enjoyed right out of the gate. Drinking Window: 2024 – 2028” – Nicolas Greinacher Review Date: August 2024

“Offers a fresh, unadorned stream of wild blackberry and currant, with a pronounced beam of chalky mineral notes giving this shape and focus. Sandalwood smoke graces the dry finish, which shows real precision and hints at graphite-edged power, framed by firming tannins. Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan. Drink now through 2030.” – Kristen Bieler Review Date: July 2025

“Tasted from multiple blends, the 2022 Vin De France Liberty has a medium to full-bodied, pure, incredibly polished style in its red, blue, and black fruits as well as peppery, violet, and tropical flower-like aromas and flavors. It's balanced, has a terrific sense of freshness, and a great finish.” – Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: October 2023
