DESCRIPTION
The 2016 vintage looks set to impress critics yet again. It sings a lofty melodic chorus the moment the cork is pulled. The riper, dryer vintage plays to the strengths of these red varieties with a seductive perfumed nose of parma violets, sweet cherry blossom, bathroom soaps, rose petals and potpourri sweet spice. Its brilliance lies in the synergy created marrying the vibrant marzipan laden Cinsaut with the sappy, mineral, red fruited Grenache, leaving the Syrah to lend a tantalizing depth of structure and peppery savoriness. The palate is seamless, harmonious and elegant with sweet boiled raspberry bon bons, red current herbal tea infusions, ripe cranberries, and a crunchy, vibrant, strawberry fruited finale.
Sweet, silky, fleshy tannins linger on a creamy, opulent, energetic finish. Perhaps less of the exotic, crunchy hubris of the 2015, but the 2016 is a far more self assured, confident wine that looks set to once and for all, cement its global icon status as one of the truly great fine wines to follow, year in, yearout.
