Jeb, Suckling, and RP all gave the 2016 a 93/100. I can see it, though I feel more comfortable with a 92. This blend is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 11% Malbec, and 7% Cabernet Franc. Lovely aromas of tobacco, cedar, blackberries, and dark berry preserves fill the nostrils. On the palate blackcurrants, dark chocolate shavings, and juicy plums, all of which lend a rich and inviting mouthfeel that coats the palate in a suave, plush blanket.
