Justin Isosceles Reserve 2016 (750 ml)

Tasting Notes For Justin Isosceles Reserve 2016

This wine is a true work of art, boasting a dark ruby purple core with a black hue and lighter rim, showcasing its moderate plus viscosity and moderate tearing that leave light staining on the glass.

The aroma of this wine is simply divine, with a complex and layered bouquet of vibrant red cherry, ripe black cherry, and blackcurrant fruit. The vanilla and cinnamon spice, camphor, and licorice, savory cigar box notes, and youthful toasted oak underpinning make this wine truly exceptional.

On the palate, the Justin Isosceles Reserve 2016 is dry and full-bodied, offering layers of red and black cherry, cassis, and complex baking spice on the entry. The sweet tobacco and classic savory pencil-like notes of cedar and graphite, along with a little cocoa, emerge on the crisp mid-palate. The firm, chewy tannins persist into a long, complex finish, showcasing a parade of fruit and spice balanced with constantly evolving textures and savory notes.

Enjoy the 2016 ISOSCELES right now with a simply seasoned oak-grilled prime ribeye steak, or wait a few years to enjoy its added complexity with the layered flavors of slowly braised lamb shanks.
