La Gaffelière 2018

• Perswijn – Ronald de Groot – ****(*)

Geur: kruiden, kersen en vanille
Smaak: puur en elegant, frisheid

• James Suckling – (95-96)

The blue-fruit and sea-salt character is fascinating in this. Full-bodied yet tight and very focused. It really lasts for minutes on the palate. Forceful but full of finesse as well.

• ·         Wine Advocate – Lisa Perrotti-Brown (94 – 96)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 La Gaffeliere reveals classically sophisticated scents of ripe black plums, warm blackberries and cigar box with touches of star anise, dried Provence herbs, chocolate mint and truffles. Full-bodied, it has a solid backbone of ripe, rounded tannins and lovely freshness lifting the densely layered fruit to a long finish.

• ·         Wine Spectator – James Molesworth (94-97)

Features a beautiful beam of cassis, bitter cherry and raspberry fruit streaming through, laced with chalky minerality and backed by floral and spice accents, all allied to a polished, luxurious feel that doesn’t sacrifice definition or drive.
