2018 Mauvesin Barton (Moulis)
Secondary Description
A fruit-forward style, for relatively young drinking - quite refreshing after tasting a lot of wine meant for the ages! Red and black cherry fruit, a touch of vanilla, and a sprig of min on the finish. (NT 30/04/19)

They produced no 2017 here due to frost, so it`s good to see it back and benefitting from all the work the Bartons have done here since arriving at the property. It`s a little chewy and austere but good quality. The bright palate is rippling with redcurrant and bramble fruit. A cheerful wine with a firm tannic structure - quite a classical take on the vintage. 90 points

54% Merlot, 39.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.5% Cabernet Franc. Mauvesin name already registered in China so they had to use Mauvesin Barton. First vintage 2011 though they had bought it only in August 2011. Deep cherry red. Ripe, deep fruited, smooth and just slightly chewy with a hint of spice. Honest, packed with dark fruit. 16 points
