Score 16.5/20 · Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2020
This second wine tends to come from the blocks in the north of the estate, where it is warmer presumably. 2017 was very tricky thanks to the fires. Some Altagracia plots were not picked before the fires and one plot has smoke taint. Half of a plot that was tainted was apparently included in the blend � but you can�t smell it on the very sweet, concentrated nose. Slightly drying on the end. But a very charming wine, albeit with some tarriness on the finish.
