TASTING NOTE
Cuvee Barrique 2018
red wine
The Cuvee Barrique is a soft and round wine, very pleasant to drink. The wine is quite aromatic. We smell black fruits, red fruits and herbaceous characteristics. The smell is a bit more restrained than its taste. In the mouth, we have flavors of forest fruit jam, tabacco, brioche, tea, vanilla and herbs. The fruitiness of the wine is somewhat modest, while the tones of cedarwood are quite dominant. The wine has had 12 months of barrique ageing and needs some development time to properly integrate these flavors. We recommend to store it 1-2 years or decant it before drinking.

Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 27 Oct 2020
Appearance
A clear, purple colored wine with a deep color intensity. Some legs are visible on the glass.
Nose
The wine has a clean, developing nose with a medium+ aroma intensity of black fruits, red fruits and herbaceous characteristics. We smell aromas of forest fruit, blackcurrant, red berries, vanilla, violets and some tones of wed forest soil and moss.
Palate
A dry wine, with medium alcohol, medium+ acidity and medium tannins. The wine is medium+ bodied with a medium+ flavor intensity. We taste a broad palate of forest fruits and characteristics of cedarwood. Specified flavors of forest fruit jam, tabacco, brioche, tea, vanilla and herbs. The wine has a finish of medium+ length with flavors of fruit and cedarwood. It is a bit mouth drying in its finish.
Quality Assessment
A good to very good wine. A soft and round wine, very pleasant to drink. The smell is a bit more restrained than its taste. The flavor palate is more pronounced. The fruitiness of the wine is somewhat modest, while the tones of cedarwood are quite dominant. The wine needs some development time to properly integrate these flavors. You can drink it now, but it will improve by further ageing. We recommend to store it 1-2 years or decant it before drinking.
