Checking in as 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2016 Pirouette Vintage Select sports a dense purple hue as well as lots of pure cassis and blackberry fruits merged with tobacco, graphite, and violets. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it brings plenty of richness and depth, yet I love its purity of fruit as well as its precision and length on the palate. The tannins are still present yet nicely integrated, and this can be enjoyed today or cellared for a solid 15-20 years. It's a gorgeous bottle of wine.
