The finish is fresh with the complex notes found on the nose coming through again.

Vintage Notes
2016 began with a dry and mild winter. Spring turned out to be colder and rainier than normal, particularly during March and April, just as the vines were budding. These conditions favoured the early stages of vegetation growth. Summer was warmer and drier than normal with a particularly intense heat-wave occurring at the end of August and beginning of September, which brought about a reduction in the size of the grape berries as well as a slowing of the ripening process and consequently a delay in harvesting. Throughout the period of ripening and harvesting there was no rain at all, which ensured that the health of the vines and the fruit remained very satisfactory. Overall, the 2016 vintage was officially ranked “very good”.
Winemaking Notes
De-stemming followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine was aged 24 months in French oak barrels followed by 30 months in bottle
