Sesti’s sublime 2016 is a wine that you will be able to swoon over for decade: complex, succulent, and slightly savory, with notes of red fruit, spices, and earth, and a long finish. Aromas of scorched earth, eucalyptus, and licorice lead the nose before a sweeter fragrance begins to emanate, of faded flowers, warm spice, incense, and tea. It is full-bodied, offering dried cherry, prune, star anise and a hint of crushed herb alongside solid fine-grained tannins; a savory richness on the palate leads to a silken finish with just the slightest grip. Absolute elegance and purity from a preeminent producer.
