Poesia - St Emilion Grand Cru Classé 2016 (750ml)
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2016 Poesia has a similar nose to the 2015 with its vivacious red fruit (wild strawberry, cranberry jus and fresh blueberries) intertwined with touches of vanilla pod and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, very pliant tannins. Approachable in style, this Poesia caresses and seduces with its velvety texture and plush, yet focused finish that offers a little more mineralité. Gorgeous.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2016 Poesia is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple, the nose delivers vibrant Black Forest cake, redcurrants and Morello cherries notes with touches of cinnamon stick, rose hip tea, pencil shavings, tobacco and milk chocolate. The medium-bodied palate charges out of the gate with bright red berries layers and loads of herbal sparks, framed by rock-solid, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long. It should offer very good aging potential.
