The 2018 Noir de Diel is a dark-colored, deep and spicy red wine blend with toasty notes intermingled with ripe and dark berry aromas along with ripe banana and toasty notes. Elegant, refined and fresh, this is a dense and silky-textured, fruit-intense and finely structured red wine with power, texture and tannins. It's mot really complex but serves the red wine needs of many consumers. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022.
