Some quite bold oak and lead pencil with ripe dark berries and plums in abundance. The palate has a firm array of rich and succulent tannins that drive a boldly flavored finish. A blend of 65 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 30 per cent merlot and five per cent petit verdot. Try from 2023.

The 2016 Caronne Ste Gemme is medium garnet-purple colored and quite woody to begin, with a core of cassis and plums with menthol and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, taut and savory in the mouth, it has a chewy finish.

Very rich, sweet nose with an earthiness underneath. Pinched finish. Sandpaper. Fast fade. (JR)
