92–94. Barrel Sample. This is a dense wine that strikes a fine balance between the wood aging and the ripe fruit flavors. Its bright acidity and fresh black currant tone are lively and crisp, while there’s plenty of weight to give this longevity.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Attractive core of ripe fruit with currant and chocolate character and just a hint of hazelnut. Medium body, round tannins and a flavorful finish.

The 2018 Citran is terrific. Dark, fleshy and expressive, the 2018 has so much to offer. Dark cherry, chocolate, licorice and spice are pushed forward in a delicious, racy Haut-Médoc that will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is a fabulous wine in its peer group.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Citran is a touch mute to begin, unfurling to offer very pretty notes of warm raspberries, fresh blackcurrants and kirsch over nuances of potpourri, chocolate box and crushed stones. Full-bodied with fantastic freshness lifting the intense red and black fruit layers, it has a firm, grainy frame and a long, perfumed finish. Nice!
