| TASTING NOTE: The 2018 Nicolas is 100% Grenache, still aging in a combination of demi-muids and tanks. There's a floral top note accenting ripe black cherries on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, supple and creamy, finally finishing with a touch of velvet and spice. It should be a beauty when released later in the year. Score - 90-92 (Joe Czerwinski, robertparker.com, April 30, 2019) |
