2016 Beaune Teurons

Bright, dark red. Medicinal black cherry, spices, licorice and a whiff of game on the nose. The richest, sweetest and most pliant of these 2016s, showing the best palate presence and volume of the range but still youthfully backward. Finishes with dark fruit and licorice notes, substantial dusty tannins and saliva-inducing salinity. This wine will need aging but even today it's neither dry nor hard on the back end.
