“The 2017 Columella opens with powdery and stone-like notes of black fruit, along with that characteristic softness on the nose. The palate is expressive, featuring 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 fine wine, lingering with a firm, powdery minerality and a gripping tannic structure. What concentration! ” (Wine Advocate 2019 - Anthony Mueller)
