Advice
Tasting notes
This wine comes from white marl soils and produced the highest alcohol this vintage 2018, at around 15%. That does show on the nose despite a touch of reduction, with just a little warmth and opulence. The rich and supple, medium-bodied palate offers a lot of sweetness, delivering apricot and marmalade-infused red fruit and a sweet, slightly concentrated finish.
