Quintessa 2016
Descripción
Quintessa es un gran vino que nace en la pequeña localidad de Rutherford, situada en el californiano Valle de Napa (Estados Unidos). Allí, en un privilegiado viñedo se cultivan las variedades con las que se elabora este tinto norteamericano puntuado con altísimas valoraciones por parte de los principales críticos. Una añada 2016 casi perfecta ha dado lugar a un vino muy complejo aromáticamente y de largo final, en el que podemos encontrar notas aromáticas que van desde la fruta negra, hasta las flores, pasando por la caja de puros y las trufas.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is blended of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère, with all fruit coming from the Quintessa estate, and it aged for 20 months in 73% new French oak. Very deep purple-black in color, it comes bounding out of the glass like a pedigree pup with exuberant notions of crème de cassis, warm blueberries and black cherries with hints of redcurrants, kirsch, candied violets, crushed rocks, cigar box and fallen leaves plus a waft of truffles. Full, rich and beautifully laced with layers of floral notes and fragrant earth, the profound black and blue fruits build slowly in the mouth, achieving great energy and depth with a beautiful velvety frame, finishing long and perfumed.
Phenomenal aromas of crushed berries, forest fruit, mushrooms and iron. Medium to full body, with layers of soft and refined tannins that follow through to a beautiful finish. Extremely long and refined. This shows depth and structure with balance and harmony. Hard not to open the bottle now and drink it, but it appears to be closing down now. Needs four to five years to show it all.
A veritable indulgence of stunning sweet black cherry, ripe currants, cassis, dark chocolate and cloves. As if this wasn't enough, delicious vanilla and a hint of caramel bind to create a really mouthwatering experience.
The 2016 Proprietary Red is a beauty based on 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Carménère, all of which spent 20 months in just over 70% new French oak. This inky purple colored 2016 offers a perfumed, complex bouquet of sweet crème de cassis, Asian spices, lead pencil, and cedarwood. Full-bodied and plenty powerful, it shines even more for its flawless balance, polished tannins, and great finish. This is a quintessential, rich, elegant Napa Bordeaux blend to enjoy over the coming two decades or more.
