The Per Se 2018 is, in and of itself, a transcendent wine. Unveiling a dark ruby core in the glass, the wine showcases an understated elegance. On the nose: brambles, juniper berries and plums, alongside rosemary, lavender and vanilla. The palate delivers tobacco, blackcurrant, and cinnamon. The tannins are grippy; the acidity carries the fruit and collectively provides great length on the finish. This wine will reward cellaring for 12 – 15 years, but its brilliance is already evident.
