This 2016 is deep in color. It's dense on the palate, silky and seducing, generous, with medium acidity. I just wish there was less oak. I'm curious how this will evolve though I'm not sure there's enough acidity to allow the wine to keep vibrant as oak integrates. Still, there's a great fruit quality and, with a more subtle oak regimen, I feel this could be even better.

Consumed at La Bourse et la Vie in Paris.
Dense and chewy. Black olive, tar black currant. Delicious.
