Expert Review - Vintage 2016
Decanter 90 Points | Plum, lilac and vanilla, with a touch of toasted cinnamon alongside the bright red fruits. Powerful, even masculine, with chewy but refined tannins and plenty of life ahead.
Memo Summary Notes
The 2016 Castera is currently at a beautiful stage, showing a blend of ripe fruit and secondary, aged characteristics:
-
Aromas: A complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, blackcurrant, and violets, evolving into notes of cedar, tobacco, leather, and baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon).
-
Palate: Medium to full-bodied with a structure supported by fine, polished, yet present tannins. The fruit is dense and savory, balanced by good acidity and a touch of earthiness typical of Bordeaux
