“It offers a clean nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with notes of leaves, herbs, licorice, and spicy oak. The palate is well-structured with an intense core of black cherries and plums. The finish is long, majestic, and fresh. Drink over the next decade and perhaps beyond.” (James Suckling 2018)

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rated (2019 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The fragrant and modern 2016 Vendimia Seleccionada combines maturity and elegance, power and finesse. It has a medium-bodied palate, excellent freshness, and very fine tannins. It should age well in the bottle.
