With its purple garnet colour, the 2018 opens with an immediate flurry of small red and black fruits: raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry and elderberry emerge one after another against a lightly mentholated backdrop. Notes of liquorice and spices complete the charming and elegant aromatic profile. The ripe, soft palate immediately reveals great fullness and maturity on a framework of soft tannins. It will provide pleasurable drinking right now.
