Description
96 Points - Robert Parker. The 2016 is dark, powerful and quite savory, with tremendous peristance and class to burn. Translucent, deep and exquisitely layered, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Dark red cherry, plum, wild herb, cedar, tobacco and smoke build as the 2016 starts to open up in the glass. This is a jewel of a wine from the Togni family.

Expert Reviews
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals a wonderfully spicy nose of cinnamon stick, cloves, fenugreek and cumin seed over a core of cassis, kirsch, black raspberries and spearmint with nuances of lavender and forest floor. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with energetic red and black berry flavors, framed by ripe, finely grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
From one of the benchmark vintages of the region and a gorgeous wine that shows the classic elegance and complexity of this producer, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep ruby hue along with a complex perfume of sweet currants, lavender, sappy flowers, and mint. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's beautifully polished, has fine tannins, a seamless mouthfeel, and outstanding length.
Youthfully tight, this mineral-edged style offers a core of currant and black cherry fruit, framed by iron, bay leaf, menthol and singed alder notes. A mulled spice edge emerges on the finish as everything slowly melds together, ending with a persistent tarry echo. Best from 2022 through 2038.
