- But what is a classic second wine?

The estate tells you: "For us, it is a wine made with all the care and attention of a great estate wine, but which is surprisingly supple, accessible, balanced and elegant from its earliest age. A great second wine is like a time machine. We can see tonight what great wine will look like in a decade or two. To mark this new era of Las Flors, the 2019 vintage is simply titled: 2ND.
