Note di degustazione
Leading off with the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming, which seems downright cheap compared to the other releases, this is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and the balance Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, aged in 65% new French oak. Deep purple-colored, with a nose of cassis, black raspberry fruits, notes of cedar, lead pencil, and tobacco, it's medium to full-bodied, has solid balance, and enough tannin to keep it drinking nicely for 10-15 years.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming is soft, supple and inviting. Medium in body, with lovely aromatic lift and freshness, this mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon has a lot to recommend it. Above all else, the Yao Ming Cabernet is a wine of understatement and class.
Containing 2% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon hits the ground running with super intense notes of baked black cherries, warm cassis, blueberry compote and chocolate mints with suggestions of licorice, cigar box and potpourri plus a touch of cumin seed. Big, rich, full-bodied and voluptuous in the mouth, the palate is superbly structured with soft tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing very long and perfumed.
