Noire De Barbentane Fig Tasting 2018

Noire De Barbentane Fig Tasting 2018
Picked on Halloween 10/31/18

It's been a long time waiting for this fig to give me ripe edible figs. Unfortunately It looks like I'll have to continue to wait.

By all means this is certainly a beautiful fig. Great skin color, with its bluish black hues and an interior that is very reminiscent of a black madeira.

Such a beautiful fig. The only negative is how late it is. Most of October has been cold and rainy. So it hasn't had the necessary sun and heat to help this fig get super sweet. 

I will have to wake this one up early next year. It just has so much potential to be a great fig. However my score for this fig is a little skewed because of the late season, cold weather ripeness.

It has an MVSB type of flavor to it. But the sweetness was quite low.
