Estimate
Pliant, deep and seductive, with tremendous overall depth, the 2016 is all class. Bright red cherry, plum, rose petal mint and licorice build into the creamy, voluptuous finish. What a gorgeous wine this is.
...with a soft and sensual disposition. The mouthfeel of this vintage is noticeably smoother. The tannins and the acidity are hardly evident because they are so neatly folded into the rich texture... Dark fruit, candied cherry and exotic spice distinguish the bouquet.
Attractive combination of ripe fruit and vanilla come through on the nose and palate. Medium body and a delicious finish.
This is firing on all cylinders, featuring blackberry, dark plum, chocolate and spice flavors allied to a solid structure. Long...square on the finish.
