Tasting Note: Incredibly deep violet, dark red and purple colours, with a very high concentration of mature dark red fruit aromas, black cherries and plums. The aging in new oak casks concentrates the mature tannins and helps smooth the wine’s power, resulting in a very elegant wine with great balance and finesse and a long, fruity finish.
Accolades: The 2018 CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a field blend from 80-year-old vines aged for 21 months in 75% new French oak. This is very fine, closer to the 2016 than the 2015 in this grouping, but a little too oaky to reveal everything it has. There is great fruit under there, but it's going to need a few years to show what it has. Then, it likely seems brilliant. Sock it away for a couple of years.
