Vinous Nicolas Greinacher - 24 Jul 24
The 2016 Rouge is a stunner. Swirling the glass unlocks magnificent garrigue, crushed violets, cassis pastilles, licorice and verbena tea elements. Built around a core of polished tannins and kept in check by refreshing acidity, the quintessential 2016 superbly marries power and finesse. Closing with a persistent finish, it comes with secure aging potential and deserves a round of applause.
