Opaque purple, with blueberry and blackberry fruit, a hint of incense and subtle toast, the wine has great intensity, incredible richness and, again, a floral blue- and black-fruited nose and flavor profile that is remarkable. The finish goes on for close to a minute. This is slightly more tightly knit than the more ostentatious 2012, but both are wines to taste and drink before you die!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003eThis is an incredible lineup of wines from Ann Colgin, her winemaker Allison Tauziet and Bordeaux winemaking consultant Dr. Alain Raynaud. Of course, they have David Abreu, the superstar of viticulturalists, looking after their vineyards which, based on those I’ve seen at Tychson Hill and the IX Estate, are meticulously and fastidiously maintained as well as drop-dead beautiful terroirs.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2012s, which I reviewed from bottle before, have gone from strength to strength at the top of the qualitative pyramid.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2013s had just been bottled, so I was blown away by how amazingly they performed. Of course, 2012 was a great vintage, but 2013, as I’ve already indicated, is probably the finest vintage for Bordeaux varietals I’ve ever tasted in my 37 years of experience in Napa Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-jounMn cnxUjl\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColgin notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 detail-col\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pure expression of fruit and mineral in the 2016 “Tychson Hill” shows the energy of the vintage. The ideal growing season of 2016 imparts into the wine an innate delicacy and opulence. Brimming with black cherry, plum, and black currant, the 2016 vintage exudes the classic flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon. Compelling notes of cobblestones and graphite meld with a graceful lift of talc and floral. A harmonious texture of seamless tannins builds in breadth and layers as the wine glides across the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-lg-6 detail-col\"\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eClimatic Conditions\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winter of 2016 began with steady rainfall, bringing small doses over the entire winter and ending with a very rainy beginning of March. Following a sequence of drought vintages beginning in 2012, the wet winter brought a final reprieve from dry conditions. Budbreak arrived shortly thereafter as vines began a season that restored balance to vine and soil health. Steady shoot growth followed in April, and warm weather took hold in May during the blooming period. This healthy start to the season was a blessing, but the incredible weather that followed in the summer and fall would become the story of the vintage. We began harvest under foggy conditions in the middle of September. The mild nature of the remainder of the season would serve to retain flavor nuances and accumulate heightened amounts of color in the grape skins. Fruit condition over the entirety of harvest was impeccable. Supple skinned berries bursting with flavor and color extracted to form wines of freshness and vibrancy with an intensely harmonious palate. The wines of the 2016 vintage are thrilling and multifaceted- every nuance of delectable fruit is matched by vivid notes of each distinctive terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"COLGIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50143731450122,"sku":"CEW027","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/COLGIN_TYCHSON.png?v=1729257472","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/colgin-cabernet-sauvignon-tychson-hill-vineyard-2013","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
