"It offers a pure nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with hints of leaves, herbs, licorice and spicy oak. The palate is well-crafted with an intense core of black cherry and plum. Long, majestic and fresh finish. Drink over the next decade and perhaps beyond." (James Suckling 2018)

Expert opinion
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Rated (2019 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The fragrant, modern Vendimia Seleccionada 2016 combines maturity and elegance, power and finesse. It has a medium-bodied mouthfeel, very good freshness and very fine tannins. It should age well in bottle.
