Note di degustazione
Juicy and fresh with a ripe attack, the 2018 D2 Proprietary Red Wine is focused on the nose with picturesque fruit aromas of dusty redcurrant and black cherry before a floral oak essence lifts from the glass. Full-bodied and complex, the wine delivers a pleasurable drinking experience with ripeness but without being overdone. Delightfully textural, this gorgeous wine finishes with persistence and robustness and will drink well in its youth.

Black plums, baked blueberries, mocha and toffee on the nose. Itâs medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Ripe with bright acidity and a firm, tannic finish. 67% merlot, 28% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
Named after the famed D2 road that runs from Bordeaux up through the Médoc, the 2018 D2 checks in as 67% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It has a classy, medium-bodied style offering fine, elegant tannins, a balanced, charming texture, and classic notes of currants, violets, lead pencil, and tobacco. Reminding me of a top Cru Bourgeois, it should keep for a decade. Delille can always be counted on to deliver classic, impeccably made wines, and they have done exceptionally well in 2018. They also pull from multiple regions, so it’s such a great education tasting through these wines when trying to understand a vintage. Their Red Mountain releases seem to be the stars of the show in 2018, but there are no dogs in this lineup. The icing on the cake is that they’re generally made in decent quantities, especially their D2 release, which is a year-in, year-out terrific Bordeaux blend.
