Tasting notes
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Enclos de Viaud leaps from the glass with vibrant black raspberry, kirsch and fresh blackberry scents, followed by hints of charcoal and bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate is straight-up juicy and refreshing with a soft texture and a peppery kick to the finish.

The 2018 Enclos de Viaud, matured in 10% new oak, has a fresh minty bouquet that skips out of the glass without a care in the world. The medium-bodied palate delivers gentle grip on the entry, and offers predominantly black fruit with a light marine influence on the finish. Drink over the next 5–7 years.
An overachiever, the 2018 Château Enclos De Viaud hails from the Lalande de Pomerol region and offers a beautiful, seamless, Pomerol-like vibe in its darker bluer fruits, violets, graphite, and damp earth-like aromas and flavors. With impressive richness, a dense mid-palate, and softy, velvety tannins, it's ideal for enjoying over the coming 10-12 years or more.
The 2018 Enclos de Viaud is a plump, juicy wine to drink now and over the next handful of years, while the sweet red cherry, plum, spice and sweet oak flavors remain vibrant.
