TASTING NOTES
2018 will be remembered as a really happy harvest. Overall, the vegetative phase was constant and produced very balanced wines. The cool and rainy months of February and March have postponed budding, and June and July have proved perfect for the continuation of the season. The approach of large events at the beginning of August made the breath hold, but they always remained at least 1km apart. In late August, the long-awaited rains helped rehydrate and cool the vines. With warm days and cool nights throughout the rest of August, optimal harvest conditions have developed. The vintage recalls by fruit power that of 2015 but by structure 2013. The nose oozes ripe fruit and floral notes of violets and roses, with shades of cypress and cedar. The palate is lush and full, enveloping and full of fruit. Accommodating tannins, thanks also to a 10-month aging in French oak, and moderate acids allow fruity flavors to contribute on the same level of importance, revealing layers of red fruit - cherry and plum with notes of honeysuckle. A long finish leaves room for spicy and herbaceous notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and persistent black tea.
