Côtes de Castillon

Medium

Cork

Ripe and massy, this is fully textured with ripe, chewy tannins that coat the mouth completely plumping up the blackcurrant fruit - you really can feel the might of the 2018 vintage here. Acidity is soft so the emphasis is more on the fruit that the overt liveliness - this is a bold wine with lots of power and heft. It's not so nuanced but delivers in terms of concentration and has good freshness with liquorice edges adding nuance. A little bit alcoholic at the end, but I enjoy the overall expression and this will settle in a few years. Give it time to air if opening soon.
