Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow - 2018 (1.5L) Beira Atlântico with bags of youthful black

with bags of youthful black fruit and lovely finely grained tannins

an extremely versatile rum

but this is clearly the second-best Mouton of the decade

but also has a slightly more saturated opaque/purple color

The soft texture adds to the enjoyment as this finished very long with black fruits and mineral underpinnings

Diamond Creek Gravelly Meadow - 2018 (1.5L) Beira Atlântico with bags of youthful black95 points Wine Enthusiast This pebbly portion of the estate vineyard consists of five acres, originally planted in 1968. With small percentages of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, it is woody in forest, graphite and clove, with a silky, rounded and expansive palate of rich, red fruit. With balanced acidity and structure, it has a long, spicy finish of clove and will do well in the cellar. Enjoy best from 20282038. Virginie Boone 94 points Wine
