Note di degustazione
Including slightly more Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot brought up all in new French oak. It's a beautiful, full-bodied effort that shines for its purity and balance as well as its classic crème de cassis, spicy oak, graphite, and cedar aromas and flavors. It's a sexy, flamboyant effort that will drink nicely for 15-20 years.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve packs a serious punch, with plenty of depth in its black cherry, mocha, new leather, plum, licorice and chocolate flavors. Today, the Reserve is a bit rough around the edges, but if it comes together in bottle it could very well merit an even more positive note. The 2016 is dense, plush and inviting.
Containing a 3% splash of Petit Verdot, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Yao Ming Family Reserve is deep garnet-purple colored and spills seductively out of the glass with compelling crème de cassis, plum preserves and baked cherries scents plus hints of mocha, menthol, underbrush and cedar chest. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated in the mouth, the palate delivers layer after layer of vibrant black fruit preserves, framed by firm yet velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long.
