Vintage: 2016
Score: 15/20
Tasting Notes:“Mature and just mid ruby with bricky rim. Rusty nail and sour cherry on the nose. Mellow strawberry and cherry fruit with soft, creamy notes. Quite a bit of tannins but overall rather innocent and the fruit doesn't hold up entirely on the finish. (WS) Drink 2022 – 2024 “
Vintage: 2016
Score: 16.5/20
Tasting Notes:“Maturing mid ruby with narrow orange rim. Ripe cherry nose with sweet, spicy oak notes. Supple, focused and ripe and with a long, sweet cherry fragrance on the finish. Elegant rather than powerful and with a layer of fine, long tannins. (WS) Drink 2022 – 2030.”
