Wine:

The usual mellowness of the vintage bursts forth in the 2016 Réserve de la Comtesse, carried by a deep, agile texture. Close to its prime, made from a majority Cabernet Sauvignon, it unfolds beautiful cherry, black currant and dark berry notes, with flavors of rose, black tea, pepper and chocolate.  A very elegant and intense wine, with silky tannins, that combines freshness and density with a spicy finish that makes it absolutely delicious.
