Description
The 2018 vintage suits the style of Villa Bel-Air very well. Always generous in style, here it has gained even more flesh and, for a wine at this level, could even be called sumptuous. Mostly on the red fruit spectrum, showing redcurrant and strawberry, there is a most appealing open, silky texture that will give early pleasure. Drink 2021-2026.
