2016 vintage notes
94 points Wine Spectator: "Plump and permeated by rose, cherry, raspberry, iron, tar and tobacco flavors, this red has power and intensity. Assertive tannins emerge on the finish, yet this has plenty in reserve. Shows a fine purity and harmony. Best from 2024 through 2042."
An impressive balance of super pretty fruit and elegannt structure, showing delicious accents of spice, tobacco, and menthol. Decant for an hour and serve with hearty fare if drinking now -- it's already very tasty but (of course) has the goods to age for a decade. - Marcus
