91+ Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Black cherry, bittersweet chocolate, espresso, menthol and licorice fill out in this potent, super-concentrated Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Readers will want to give the 2016 a few years in bottle, as the tannins are pretty imposing at this stage. Even so, there is quite a bit to look forward to once the wine settles down a bit.

Product Description:

Our tiny production 2016 Alpha Mare is bold in the glass. Just after it lands in the glass, it fills the room with warm fruit-filled confectioner aromas. Rum-soaked dried fruits, cola, and shortbread play together, giving you the feeling you are in a pastry shop that is also selling loads of fresh berries. Aromas of sappy cedar fill an already overstuffed profile creating a lovely complexity. The mouth is full to the brim. Generous body, delicious ripe fruit flavors are cradled in a subtle acidity. The tannins are like suede, elegant, and very supple. It has a long, fruit-driven finish that is, at the same time powerful, yet restrained and elegant.
