Sadie Family - Columella 2017

Sadie Family - Columella 2017

93/100

Robert Parker

"The 2017 Columella starts with powdery, black-fruited core notes and still that sweetness on the nose. The palate is expressive with an austere peppery edge that's wrapped in sandy-grained tannins and notes of blackberry, black cherry and black plum. Ethereal, the wine possesses extremely complex power and precision that will age for decades. The finish is shy, yet has the depth and breadth of a good wine, lingering with firm, powdery minerality and tannic grip. What concentration! " (Wine Advocate 2019 - Anthony Mueller)

About the wine:

The 2017 Columella starts with powdery, black-fruit stone notes and still that sweetness on the nose. The palate is expressive with an austere peppery edge that's wrapped in sandy-grained tannins and notes of blackberry, black cherry and black plum. Ethereal, the wine possesses extremely complex power and precision that will age for decades. The finish is shy, yet has the depth and breadth of a good wine, lingering with firm, powdery minerality and tannic grip. What concentration!
