2016 vintage but lacking in structure and overall flavor intensity; this should be much bigger and better. Approachable now but needs at least 2 hours of air before consuming. Typical black fruit, cassis, tobacco resin, with background oak and a little vanilla. Medium bodied and ruby colored.

Super classy on the nose and juicy and a little bit Strident right now. Majority is Cabernet, 1 year in barrels, they want fruity and sensual, target of young people to be interested in Bordeaux. Juicy tight fruit to it.

Ripe blackberry color. Richly perfumed nose of warm fruit pie, Madagascar vanilla, more. Atypical 2016, broad soft mature fruit entry, clipped by dry dust. Subtle acid balance, exotic vanilla notes replace tannin. The just right fruit, overall balance, enticing nose and an angelic vanilla exoticism are appealing. Yes, it lacks Bordeaux complexity and perhaps typicity.

Fruity nose and mouth, but not overpowering. Medium complexity.
