Tasting Notes & Reviews
"Rated slightly below the 2015s, but certainly on an equal footing with the great vintage of the year before, 2016 saw a return to weather conditions in line with seasonal norms, which produced a harvest with all the right things in the right balance, followed by ideal conditions for the drying of the grapes. It has concentrated dark fruit and sweet herbs on the nose, and depth, length and great energy on the palate, combining immediate drinkability with prodigious ageing potential." 98/100, Richard Baudains, Decanter, Oct'2022
"I love the semidried, cranberry-like fruit base to the aromas, decorated by notes of very dark chocolate and coffee bean. Medium-to full-bodied with a very silky, refined feel to the palate. Tight bead of super clean fruit and fine, polished tannins. Long yet tight, crystal-clear finish that lingers. Exquisite Amarone. The tight, focused and balanced nature to this makes you want to drink it now. But it will get even better with some bottle age. Try from 2023." 96/100, James Suckling, Feb'2022
