"...große, aromatische Frucht, komplex, Zigarrenkiste, RTabak, am Gaumen soft, tolle dunkle Beeren, total reif, ganz feine Süße am Gaumen, feine Vanille, auch feine Bitterschoko, lang, sehr große Finesse am Gaumen, blaubeeriges Finale, große Frische" (08/2022)

Der La Muse 2016 hat eine intensive granat-violette Farbe und besteht zu 93% aus Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc und 2% Malbec. Bei dieser Cuvée treten die fruchtigen Noten von schwarzer Johannisbeere, reifer Zwetschge und Schwarzkirsche hervor. Zu diesen dichten schwarzen Fruchtaromen treten noch ein wenig Anis, Kakao sowie wilder Thymian hinzu. Dieser wunderbare Rotwein ist vollmundig und reichhaltig. Die runden, reifen und feinkörnigen Tannine umrahmen den langen und mineralischen Abgang hervorragend!

The 2016 La Muse is a brooding, somber wine, just as it was en primeur. Black cherry, gravel, savory herbs, smoke, game, licorice and incense add a real feeling of gravitas that comes through in the wine's tannic heft. La Muse is often more showy when it is young, but the 2016 is going to require quite a bit of patience.

This is a fabulous, merlot-based red with blackberries, blueberries and rust. Ink, too. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. 93 per cent merlot with the rest in cabernet franc and malbec. Drink after 2021. (05/2019)

Including the highest percentage of Merlot (at the moment anyway), the 2016 La Muse checks in as 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Malbec that spent 15-16 months in roughly 90% new French oak. This magical wine shows how good Merlot (and Sonoma) can be and offers extraordinary notes of crushed violets, spring flowers, scorched earth, graphite, black cherries, and crème de cassis. As elegant and seamless as they come, it’s full-bodied, perfectly balanced, has an incredible spine of acidity and tannins, and a finish that won’t quit. It has the class and purity to drink well even today, but it’s not going to hit prime time for at least another decade and will keep for 3-4 decades. Bravo! (06/2019)

Dense, smoky and powerful, featuring notes of freshly ground coffee to the roasted plum and dried blackberry flavors. Hoisin sauce accents show on the tannic finish, with green herbal shadings. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Drink now through 2025. 2,205 cases made.

The 2016 La Muse, a composition of 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec, is still very youthful at this stage. It has alluring scents of minerally Morello cherry, sage, desiccated rose petals and the first hints of maturity coming through as wafts of mushroom and cigars. The powerful, full-bodied palate is harmoniously balanced, with bright acidity, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish. It deserves several more years to develop in bottle.
