Full-bodied and very tight and creamy with polished tannins that last for minutes. Warm and intense. Already a beauty.95 Points - Wine EnthusiastThis wine has an austere structure with firm tannins. The fruit comes through slowly, revealing an attractive black-currant flavour and ample acidity. This will be an outstanding wine with time.�94+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe 2016
