Housed in a wrist-achingly heavy bottle, the cellar-bound 2016 vintage of this wine is as broody and rich as the previous year, although it's showing a little more generosity on the palate this time around. A nose of ripe blackberry, black cherry and blueberry fruit is accompanied by dried mint and rather flashy chocolatey oak notes. The fruit feels fresher on the palate, thanks to a lifted line of acidity. It's wrapped in muscular, leathery tannins and finishes on a blackberry tang. Drink 2021–2029.
