Cambon la Pelouse 2016 75cl

This is very thick and powerful yet remains fresh and clean. Lots of lively acidity. Full-bodied, layered and flavorful. Better than the 2015.

The 2016 Cambon la Pelouse felt a little disjointed on the nose with quite strong undergrowth aromas percolating through the black fruit. The palate is balanced with stringy tannin, moderate depth with a precise and detailed finish. All it needs is more vigor and intent

Fresh, modest and open in feel, with gentle plum and cherry notes, backed by a twinge of dried savory on the finish.—J.M.
