Score 89/100 · Drink 2024-2036, Neal Martin, Mar 2021

The 2018 La Confession has an intense nose of black cherry, raspberry coulis and a very slight Wellington boot scent, possibly from a bit of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, dry tannins. Quite bold and forthright, it has a voluminous finish but comes across just a little raw at the end. A couple of years in bottle will do this no harm, but it takes itself a bit too seriously.

The 2018 La Confession is bold and quite powerful, but also a bit rough around the edges. Inky dark fruit, spice, cloves, licorice and lavender give the 2018 a good bit of nuance, but the ripeness and extraction are both pushed, while the tannins remain a bit strict.

This shows lots of density and layers of fruit and tannins. Persistent finish as well. Medium to full body. Excellent potential.
