Top Notes For

2016. While it rates quite well I found it to be a fairly shallow wine. It’s top was predominant with a bit of bitterness with nothing underneath to counteract it. Thinking that it might need some time alone I decanted it with no discernible improvement.

Smells sweet, dark garnet, slightly acidic but still pretty mellow on the palate. A bit dry but full body.
