Estate director Calogero Portanesse s first vintage. He came from Rampolla. Ideal vintage. 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc. Harvest: Merlot 14 September and 4-5 October; Cabernet Franc 14-18 October. 8,200 bottles produced.Luscious and sweet – perhaps just a little sweeter than my ideal. Still lots of ripe tannin in evidence. Gorgeous balance but still very youthful. Recalls the 2015. (JR)
