A fav for decades. Magrez knows his stuff. Dark red fruit. Balanced acidity and tannins, the latter are soft and ripe. 2018. Drinking beautifully.

Nose is strong in acid. Maybe some unripe cherries. Light in body with strong acidic fruit. Overall.... Amazing.

Fabulous drinking wine on way home, certainly tantalised the taste buds through a smooth aroma that was elegant.
