Domaine Calmel & Joseph La Madone 2016

Sumptuous and symphonic, the wine is packed with black/blueberry and cranberry notes with gorgeous chocolate [tart], smoked [game], mushroom and cedary oak characters. The palate is substantial and graceful at the same time, offering seamless mouthfeel and lovely savoury nuances. The wine flows effortlessly through the palate, finishing persistent and immensely satisfying. At its best: now to 2028. Score - 96.
