Rubicon Estate Inglenook 'Rubicon' Red 2018 Golfo del Tigullio-Portofino Aromas of apricotA lovely enticing nose filled with rich plum, fig and blackcurrant fruits heady and opulent. The palate is precise with a distinct texture, certainly dense and ripe but the flavours just settle on the tongue giving spiced touches of liquorice but allowing the freshness and acidity to underpin the overall taste. It feels very carefully constructed with everything in place allowing power and generality but neatly packaged and not overdone. 97 Pts
