Strong ruby red with garnet reflections. Dense and intense aroma of red fruits with notes of leather, earth, spices and minerals, with hints of vanilla and sandalwood. Full-bodied on the palate, well-defined tannins supported by a dense structure leading into a long-lasting and very smooth final. A Bordeaux blend in a class of its own! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Burdese is an uncomplicated expression of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%) that does not impose itself. The wine is soft on the palate with medium-bodied layers of ripe cherry, plum, soft earth and leather. The tannins are immediate and soft." Wine Advocate

"This Bordeaux blend shows berries, fresh herbs like parsley and a hint of vanilla. It has a medium to full body with medium round tannins and a juicy finish. Very enjoyable now, but it will be much better in two or three years." James Suckling

"Dusty dried flowers, crushed rocks, graphite and red plums form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2018 Burdese makes itself known in the glass. This washes across the palate with soft textures contrasted by a core of tart wild berry fruits. Mineral tones slowly saturate. A web of fine tannins adds youthful poise, nicely offset by a twang of sour citrus as the 2018 tapers off long, staining yet with wonderful balance." Vinous
