Taste profile

Vinous93 pts

The 2018 Lessona is wild and alluring. The aromatics alone are captivating. Time in the glass brings out scents of crushed red fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, mint and rose petal. I have often found these wines a bit ethereal and lacking depth, but that is certainly not the case with the 2018. In fact it is one of the best wines I have tasted from Clerico.
