“This striking 2016 is a suave yet dense package. It’s headily scented with violet, lilac and rose, eventually giving way to exotic spice and tobacco. The tannins are chalky and integrated but commanding from the get-go. The palate is packed with succulent blackberry and strawberry. Accents of leather suggest a savoriness that should amplify with time. The estate now releases its Riserva at 10 years of age, and it is well worth seeking out as it's a great indication of how Le Chiuse’s wines evolve.”
