2018 was a year of varied weather conditions, ranging from a very mild spring to a hot dry summer with a freak hailstorm in mid-July to a beautiful Indian summer harvest, and resulted in humongous crops. The temptation to fill the cellar after several years of poor harvests is understandable, but high yields and compromises seldom produce great wines, so we kept our yields under control. The resulting 2018 wines show as complex and well-structured, powerful yet elegant, with a very good length.
