The 2018 Cirsion also feels a bit young, and it is also quite ripe with 14.5% alcohol, reminiscent of the modern wines from the turn of the century, powerful, ripe and generously oaked. There is a different granularity here: the tannins are a little coarser; there is a bit of an edge, and it's not as polished; it's a little wilder. I think this is going to age well. They managed to produce 10,200 bottles. It was bottled in March 2020 after only eight months in barrel. Score: 95 Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2024-2032 14 July 2022 |

A perfumed nose of blackberries, blueberries, cumin, porcini, olives and dried herbs. It’s full-bodied with fine, creamy tannins. Layered. Such complexity, with savory, mineral character. Focused and long. Better in a year or two, when the vanilla character melts into the wine. Try after 2022. Score: 96 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2022+ 08 September 2021 |
