Vérité Le Désir 2018 750 mL bottle VINTAGES

The wine has a gorgeous nose. All botanicals, florals, berries, wet leaves, earth which is dewy and freshly turned. And then there's a wow factor on the palate which is massive, complex, labyrinthine in its layers and nuances. Like a peacock somehow, a glimpse of the glory of its tail awaiting the years to open to full beauty. This wine will take years. It is dark, powerful, brooding, beyond words beautiful. Drinking window: 2029-2055. Score - 99. (Clare Tooley, MW, decanter.com, Dec. 13, 2021)
