"Lastly, the 2016 Black Magic strikes a different style and incorporates a massive 40% Petit Verdot. More inky blue/black in color, it offers a massive bouquet of chocolaty dark fruits, scorched earth, violets, graphite, and charcoal. With a pure, focused, full-bodied style, remarkable purity, a weightless texture, and no shortage of acidity or tannins, it needs 4-5 years at a minimum of cellaring and will see its 50th birthday in fine form."
