Tasting: 
Prelude 2019 is a treasure trove of gluttony. On the nose, it expresses powerful and concentrated notes of fresh fruit: blackcurrant and black cherry. On the palate, it is still an explosion of fruit. Its tannins are supple and covering, leaving a long and remarkable persistence on aromas of cherry stone.
