Took quite a while to open up, so perhaps decanting would have been a good idea, this is from a Coravin bottle. Plum forward with a smooth slightly tannic finish. A bit more acidic than expected but a beautiful deep color and a fairly long palate feel.

Dark purple color with an appealing nose. On the palate soft but dark berry fruit, blackberry, currants, blueberries and plum. A decent wine, but nothing really special either. It’s a wine that shows lite and soft on the plate, lacking depth. I expected more from the 2016 vintage, but: “it is, what it is” as they say. 88/89 Points.

Nez : fruits noirs...cassis et bleuet, cuir, épices, menthe, notes florales et caramel brulé après aération...très beau ! Souple, fruité, ample, rond, riche, concentré, structuré et équilibré...complexe. Savoureux : fruits noirs mûrs, épices...poivre, café torréfié et liqueur de bleuet. Longue finale mûre. Délicieux...boire d'ici 2026. 92+
