“The 2017 Columella opens with powdery and stone-like notes of black fruit, along with that characteristic sweetness on the nose. The palate is expressive, with a austere peppery edge wrapped in sandy-textured tannins and notes of blackberry, black cherry, and black plum. Ethereal, the wine possesses an extremely complex power and precision that will age for decades. The finish is reserved, yet possesses the depth and breadth of a great wine, lingering with a firm, powdery minerality and a persistent tannic grip. What concentration! ” (Wine Advocate 2019 – Anthony Mueller)

About the wine:
The 2017 Columella opens with powdery notes and black fruit kernels, along with that characteristic sweetness on the nose. The palate is expressive, with a austere peppery edge wrapped in sandy-grained tannins and notes of blackberry, black cherry, and black plum. Ethereal, the wine possesses an extremely complex power and precision that will age for decades. The finish is reserved, yet possesses the depth and breadth of a fine wine, lingering with a firm, powdery minerality and a grip of tannins. What concentration!
