This is the best Marie's View that I've had in the past five vintages. This wine has a lovely herbaceous nose of red bell pepper, sage and oak with blackberry. Flavors of blackberry, blueberry compote, anise and creme de cassis persist. Absolutely rich and viscous wine that keeps the terroir present from a spectacular vintage. This is impossible to resist right now, just make sure to give it at least an hour in the decanter to unwind. (Best 2016-2030) - February, 2016 (OB)
