The vintage
The 2018 season benefited from ideal weather. It began with normal rainfall, creating favourable conditions for bud break and the setting of the fruit. The minimum temperatures did not reach extreme levels, so there was no damage from frosts. The summer brought temperatures that did not exceed 35°C, giving the vines excellent conditions for photosynthesis, and resulting in slow, efficient ripening. This factor and the absence of rain at the end of the season were essential in enabling us to harvest at the optimal time, thereby obtaining musts and wines with superb balance

Tasting
Le Dix has a beautiful intense, bright, deep red colour.
The nose is complex, with aromas of black cherry, ripe strawberry and plum, underscored by a hint of oak, with delicate notes of cedar, graphite and dark chocolate.
On the palate, this great vintage is revealed in all its splendour, with soft, firm tannins and, thanks to the cool nights at Los Vascos, some acidity to accompany this balance. Without doubt one of the best vintages of the decade.
