Two thirds whole bunch and two thirds new oak. Dense flamboyant purple. The nose is much more backward than the regular bottling, (both had late malolactic fermentations), but there is a vast weight of fruit on the palate, more tannins, more of everything but not yet the sex appeal. Just wait a while.
As is usually the case this is quite aromatically similar to the regular cuvée except that it's always a bit spicier though in 2016, it's also a bit more overtly floral. The similarly scaled flavors possess a bit more minerality as well with excellent muscle and power on the driving and wonderfully long finish that is slightly more structured too. This should be brilliant in time.
