Amiral Beychevelle, Bordeaux, Saint Julien, France, 2016

Deep ruby colour with pronounced, perfumed aromas. Rich and silky blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry and plum flavours with rounded cassis, oak, vanilla and cream. Early signs of forest floor and leather emerging. Medium(+) tannins and acidity, medium body bordering on full, and a beautiful long finish. – Kyle Nett
