Les Charmes de Kirwan Margaux 2016

The wine shows a beautiful garnet color and a quite open and expressive nose, with an intense dominant fruity character (cherry, blackcurrant, pepper, cinnamon), and smoky notes. The attack on the palate is round and smoothy as well as fresh, carried by a nice acidity. Fine tannins gradually develop on the palate, bringing some persistence. Vanilla and aging hints compliment the bouquet. Ultimately, Charmes de Kirwan 2016 is an impressive vintage for its fruit, freshness and complexity, ready to please young wine aficionados. However, it will definitely improve over years.
