"It offers a pure nose of blackcurrant and blueberry with notes of leaves, herbs, licorice, and spicy oak. The palate is well-made 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 rating (2019 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)

Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

About wine:

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