    La Magia Cilliegio (Red) 2018 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Cherry fruit. Slightly lifted aromas, herbal and fresh menthol. Black chocolate and rounded minerality. Very tight, dark, almost powdery tannins. Slightly sweet oaky vanilla contributing very prettily to the fine tannins, fruity green apple acidity. Lovely coolness and balance. Very fine, elegant fresh wine with age-worthy tannins and some rather lovely fruity aromatics. Linear structure, elegant fruity finish. Very different to others of the vintage - commonality is the long fresh acidity.
