I have now been down the long and mysterious road of tasting the highly acclaimed – by some – 2018 vintage.
This is indeed in some cases a tremendous vintage. Yet not all wines shine from this irregular and hot year.
But the list is ready… 😊
Many 2018 wines fail when it comes to having an emotion-provoking character (with some even provoking negative reactions). So I have run through my tastings to find the Winehog emotional picks for 2018 – my vins d’émotion.
Ideally, these should have been chosen at the tasting on the day. But since I only introduced the concept in November, I will have to improvise.
All wines that evoke these emotional responses of joy deserve a recommendation. I have not included wines with emotional potential, as this would be impossible at this time, with some of the wines tasted almost a year ago.
I will update as I taste more ..
