This is a very nice, juicy and balanced wine with good thickness, a great match for iron steak and blue cheese butter sauce. In general, I've found these wines from Tolini to be top notch, with succulent tones of ripe fruit and pretty intensity. This one is at the top of the pyramid, and I'm guessing 2016 in particular could be even better. They released about 9,000 bottles of this vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling: \u003c\/strong\u003e93\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAromas of violets, lavender and blackberries follow through to a full body with firm and chewy tannins.
