Note di degustazione
The 2018 Seventeen Forty Reserve is made entirely of free-run juice, composed mainly of Cabernet Franc blended with 22% Merlot and aged 18 months in 100% new French oak. Deep ruby-purple, it opens with singular morel mushrooms, cast iron, braised meats and potpourri-like perfume with a core of crème de cassis. The palate is medium-bodied and finely pixelated with incredible lift and freshness, its intense, perfumed, juicy fruit character lingering on the finish.

Opaque ruby. Dark berry liqueur, fruitcake, smoky oak and vanilla on the highly perfumed nose. Stains the palate with intense black/blue fruit, mocha and floral pastille flavors and baking spice and mineral nuances that add firm back-end cut. Fleshy and deep but lively as well, thanks to a core of juicy acidity. Finishes on a gently tannic note, displaying sharp focus and strong, fruity persistence. All new French oak.
A Pomerol-like bouquet of ripe black and blue fruits, chocolate, violets, sappy herbs, and damp earth emerge from the 2018 1740 Reserve. Full-bodied, it offers beautiful purity, a clean, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. Bottled just a month ago, it's going to drink beautifully for 10-12 years or more.
