Waxy, modest fruit intensity with a pleasantly restrained citrus character on the nose. Could perhaps use a touch more acidity. (RH)

The 2016 Thieuley is soft, fleshy and open-knit, all qualities that make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice and sweet tobacco notes give the wine lovely aromatic complexity, but the 2016 also offers striking purity of fruit.
