2016 Corbières Rouge “Campagnès”
Maxime Magnon
Simply stunning. Garagiste Maxime Magnon’s single-vineyard Corbières is sourced from vines over one hundred years old! Floral aromatics prime the palate for great expectations, and the Campagnès certainly delivers. Characteristic Carignan spice and grip are artfully complemented by unusually fresh notes of fleshy, dark cherry fruit. Try chilling it for a few minutes to see what I mean.

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
