"The medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Carlmagnus features pronounced cedary notes over a core of red and black plums and black cherries plus hints of tobacco and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is very firm and chewy with attractive freshness and a woody finish. If the structure settles and the fruit emerges to fill out this ambitious frame, it could well exceed my expectations."

"The 2016 Carlmagnus had a slightly volatile bouquet that suggested it had just been pushed in the winery. The palate is very sweet and cloying with chewy black cherry fruit but dominated by wood tannins on the finish. Dropped catch?"
