2018 Mas Daumas de Gassac, Languedoc, France x 6 x 75cl

Bouquet of crushed blackberries and mulberries along with an array of smoky-leathery notes dominate on the nose, with immediate follow through to a big, bold palate that has structure and complexity. It is redolent of the older vintages with its  silky finish that lasts in the mouth and gives lie to the wine this will become. It is no exaggeration to suggest that this wine outperforms many first and second growth clarets. It’s drinkable now, but its future is destined to be infinitely more glorious.
