This textured, fruity wine is given a firm edge by the tannins. The structure provides an important element in the wine's potential, balancing attractive black-currant flavors with a dry core. The wine should age, so drink from 2025.
Blackcurrant, chocolate, dried mint and licorice on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Sleek and fresh. Better from 2024.
The 2018 Citran has retained its well-defined, marine-influenced nose of black fruit infused with seaweed and oyster shells but is less diffuse than it was out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little foursquare, perhaps, but fresh and showing more cohesion and complexity on the finish compared to some of its peers. Good show. And maybe it will improve further.
