  I decanted my wine, and then I let it sit for three hours. The 2016 Paolo Scavino Carobric is at the beginning of its drinking window. This is a very nice wine that I consumed over two evenings. There is a bit of tannin, but not a whole lot. I'm rating 92 for now, but that could go higher in another five years. This one is better than the 2015.

  really nice over two nights, no notes and faint memory, certainly on the bright side and feels like it needs ten years (and a 'shutdown' check) before beginning to show its real stuff

  Touch murkier garnet color with more brick than the Prapo. A good bit more complex on the nose with a slightly riper feel — dark cherry, plum, some loamy earth, licorice, pine, and orange peel, all lifted by some barely perceptible VA. Another wine that just pops and fans out on the palate. Juicy, super ripe and super fresh at the same time. Such a great combination. Plenty of structure, but like so many of these wines, it’s just buried in fruit at this stage. Long and powerful finish. If you have this one, open a bottle. It’s super tasty tonight. Terrific QPR here. Very highly recommended.
