Stunning in its aromatic presence, the 2018 is silky, medium in body and super-refined. Once again, I am blown away by the wine's total sense of precision. The Cabernets are only 15% of the blend and yet the 2018 is so strongly marked by floral and savory accents. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, rose petal and lavender all build in the glass.
