95% Tinto Fino, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Wet spring with no frost was followed by an extremely dry and warm summer with beneficial rainfall at the end of September. Harvest 19 September to 10 October. Yield 24.5-25.9 hl/ha. Bottled June 2018: 88,188 bottles, 3,537 magnums, 328 double magnums, 55 Imperiales and 5 Salmanazars. From magnum.Relatively pale maturing crimson. Rich velvety complex cocktail of aromas. Spicy, exotic - even explosive on the nose. Really rather majestic and powerful with the tannic structure of an intense bordeaux. Our notes suggest this can be enjoyed immediately despite its potential to age but I d say it s even less approachable than the 2014. Tannic, even inky, grip on the end but clearly there is masses there. (JR)
