(Wine Advocate Score 94) The note of toasted sesame seeds and flinty smokiness was constant in many 2018s, including the 2018 Unus, a red blend of 65% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot that feels quite Bordeaux-like, with good ripeness, concentration and balance. It has a serious palate with abundant, slightly chalky tannins and a long and dry finish. This should develop nicely in bottle.

GRAPE VARIETY: 65% MALBEC - 25% CABERNET SAUVIGNON - 10% PETIT VERDOT

Manual berry selection at the sorting table. Fermentation in small 50-hl tanks. Manual pigeage during the rst few weeks. Total maceration time: 25 days. Pneumatic pressing at low pressure. Malolactic fermentation in barriques. Ageing in French oak barrels for 16 months. Blended and later bottled in November 2019.

Color: Dark intense red, purple at the rim.

Nose: Complex and multi-layered. Before being swirled, the wine exhibits fresh fruit notes like black cherries, plums, blackberries and cassis. Once swirled, it displays spices such as pink peppercorn, cedarwood, chocolate notes, vanilla and blond tobacco.

Mouth: It is a harmonious and mouth-lling wine which feels meaty and unctuous, with rened and round tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend contributes tannic structure and a spicy core while the Malbec oers unctuousness, roundness and fruit and the Petit Verdot, body and licorice. The aromatic complexity on the nose echoes on the palate and makes it incredibly long. The acidity in this elegant wine ensures freshness and great cellaring capacity.
