The 2016 Terre du Lion impresses right out of the gate, displaying a lovely dark purple color and a beautiful perfumed nose of blackberries, red plums, spices, tobacco, wet stones and hints of savory herbs all take shape. This possesses a gorgeous medium body with fine silky tannins and lovely overall balance through the elegant finish. Readers looking for an approachable wine from the vintage should certainly seek-out this pretty Saint-Julien, which should offer a drinking window that spans a decade.
