Camarcanda 2018

Ca'Marcanda (Gaja)

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Ca’Marcanda’s flagship. Made only in exceptional years in small quantities from the coveted terre bianche soils which produce long lived mythical wines. Camarcanda shows red ripe fruits on the nose, with hints of bergamot and strawberry (typical notes from Cabernet Franc). The bouquet is embracing and persistent and has a juicy and complex palate with flavours of Mediterranean bushes and berries. The high level of flavour concentration is well balanced with an engaging acidity.

Impenetrable dark purple-crimson. Blackberry-blueberry with chalky cassis notes and plum. Crushed-blackberry palate with soft tannins and a supple dark-fruit finish. More medium- than full-bodied. Lots of freshness and cool-climate character. (WS)

The 2018 Camarcanda is lifted with medicinal herbs, balsamic, and fresh mint. It is youthful with baby fat now but is more lifted overall compared to the previous two vintages of 2017 and 2016. It offers elegant and fine tannins, with notes of black raspberry, strawberry, violets, and a long and tapered finish that is more about its stony mineral texture than the length and concentration of its fruit. Drink 2024-2044.
