One of the great classics of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, the 2018 vintage is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. A complex nose, redolent of precious woods and cedar, and supporting black fruit notes of black cherry, cassis and blackberry. The wine rapidly grows in stature on the palate, and is generous, concentrated, fruit-laden and spicy, with very fine tannins. Dry and concentrated, the wine culminates in a particularly long, lingering, seductive finish, characterised by hints of cedar and cigar box. Sold in approachable half bottle format.

The 2018 Le Boscq seems to have lost some of its marine scents since I tasted it in barrel, now offering more red fruit with crushed iris and incense, plus peppermint in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with quite strict, dry tannins. I would have liked more flesh on the finish, which at the moment feels a little bony. Needs to show a little more joy.
