Diam 10 closure . Tasted blind. Broad, sumptuous nose. Perfumed with a decent core of fruit. Though still those dry tannins on the (rather sudden) end. (JR)

The 2018 La Garde has a tightly knit bouquet of brambly black fruit, briar and just a touch of boot polish in the background; good definition here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit that grips the mouth. Quite sapid compared to previous vintages. It just needs a little more finesse toward the finish. Not bad, though.
An outstanding Graves, the 2018 Château La Garde reveals a dense purple hue as well as impressive blueberry and black cherry fruits intermixed with tobacco, cedary spice, and dried herbs. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, with notable purity as well as building, ripe tannins, it's going to benefit from just a couple of years in the cellar and drink nicely for 10-12 years.
