Note di degustazione
This is a fascinating and seductive red blend with everything from chocolate and ripe blackberries to delicate herbal and savory notes. The full body is married to restrained power, moderately dry tannins and lovely freshness that lifts the finish. A blend of 47 per cent Malbec, 27 per cent petit verdot, 23 per cent cabernet sauvignon and three per cent merlot. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Dragon's Tooth is blended of 46% Malbec, 27% Petit Verdot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot with a deep garnet-purple color and broody, earthy nose with tar and black soil over baked plums and black cherries plus Indian spices. The full-bodied palate is firm with a taut line and chewy finish.
Trefethen's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Dragon's Tooth is forward, fruity and delicious. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so, while the red cherry, plum and pomegranate flavors retain their youthful succulence. Medium in body, with soft curves, the 2016 has much to recommend it.
