Sant Antoni 2016, Scala Dei

A wine of almost indescribable beauty, made in such tiny quantities that, alas, only a few will ever get to experience it. Think the supple harmony of Musigny Grand Cru (at a small fraction of the price); super-silky and super-pure, with delicate raspberry, rosewater and aniseed aromas, subtle fruit and supple texture and an almost hidden but present liquorice-like concentration on the hauntingly-long finish. Like the finest of Burgundy, immediately irresistible yet with the finesse and balance to last a decade or longer.
