"The 2016 Ten opens with layered aromas of black cherry, plum, exotic spice, and subtle savory notes. Concentrated and structured on the palate, it reveals blackberry, dark spice tones, and remarkable depth, framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity.
The finish is long and persistent, carrying notes of spice and cedar with impressive intensity. While drinking beautifully today, the wine possesses the balance and structure to continue evolving gracefully for another five to ten years. For those enjoying it now, a brief decant allows the wine's full breadth and complexity to unfold."
