Description
The wines are intense in color, immediately charming with bright aromas of fruit and purity. The attack is soft then very quickly the wine takes on breadth with silky tannins and a nice tonic length.
Wine Spectator
Lively raspberry and blackberry fruit forms the core here, with juicy intensity running through the bramble-edged finish, revealing a light flash of tobacco. Not big, but fresh and engaging, with light-handed toast at the end. Drink now through 2028. 4,167 cases made.
Vinous
V86 The 2016 Carlmagnus has come together well during its elevage. Super-ripe cherry, kirsch, vanillin and spice give the wine its racy, flamboyant personality. The oak, so overpowering when the wine was in barrel, has integrated somewhat, yet remains evident.
