Tasting notes
Dark color with purple tint on the rim, black cherry, blackcurrant and fresh prune. Powerful and unctuous
with a lot of freshness. This vintage seems to be very approachable and well balanced. Tannins are dense
and very silky. This amazing wine looks like a blend between the 2009 and the 2016. 2018
is the ultimate generous wine.
