The 2018 Haut-Veyrac has a lot to offer. Inky red fruit, blood orange, mocha, spice, rose petal and mint all run through the 2018. Haut-Veyrac is rich and textured, yet offers terrific energy as well. Floral and spice overtones reappear, lifting the finish nicely. All the elements are so nicely balanced.

Super rich and packed with Merlot, this is a densely powerful wine. Its intensity is just lightened by acidity, but tannins and the rich structure dominate and are likely to keep this wine concentrated as it matures. Drink from 2024.

Pretty freshness and easiness to this wine. Medium body, fine tannins and a medium, clean finish.

The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Haut-Veyrac leaps from the glass with notes of crushed blueberries, blackberry pie and star anise plus hints of black raspberries and mulberries. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with bright, crunchy fruit, framed by rounded tannins and a lively line, finishing with a red fruit lift.

Notes of currants, cherries, and leather emerge from the 2018 Chateau Haut Veyrac, a medium-bodied, savory, slightly chewy Saint-Emilion with building tannins and a good finish. This wine is slightly less successful than I'd hoped when I tasted it from barrel.
