“As with the 2010, and to a certain extent the 2014, this is a gorgeous, rich, powerful and balanced wine. It was only bottled in June 2018 and yet it’s already tasting brilliant. It has silky tannins but is full of power and flesh, with utterly gorgeous black fruits. This is a wine that you would be thrilled to have in your cellar; delicious! 25% new oak.”
