"A rock solid 2018 that has lots to love, the 2018 Lirac Cuvée Réservée offers a meaty bouquet of black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as notes of licorice and peppery herbs. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and balanced, it has the charming, supple style of the vintage and is ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years."
