Pago de Cirsus LaA 2018

Polished and carefully crafted, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah is only the fifth vintage made of this wine which is limited to the estate’s best parcels in very good years. It spends 18 months in new French barrels from top tonneliers, and after already five years of ageing, the oak is very well integrated. Bright red pepper and redcurrant aromas are complimented by more earthy, leathery notes. A well-made wine quite international in style. 2024-28

Smoked cherries and black olives to the nose with some coffee and sweet spices. Medium-bodied on the palate with some lightly chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Ripe and direct. Drink in 2024.
