The 2018 La Ricolma is a wine of incredible finesse. To be sure, the 2018 doesn't quite haver the explosive depth or intensity of either the 2015 or 2016, but it makes up for that with its persistence and nuance. Dark cherry jam, licorice, spice, menthol and sage all meld together effortlessly as the 2018 starts to open up with a bit of aeration. The 2018 spent 22 months in French oak, about 35% new. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
