Camarcanda 2016

Ca'Marcanda (Gaja)

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Ca’Marcanda’s flagship. Made only in exceptional years in small quantities from the coveted terre bianche soils which produce long lived mythical wines. Camarcanda shows red ripe fruits on the nose, with hints of bergamot and strawberry (typical notes from Cabernet Franc). The bouquet is embracing and persistent and has a juicy and complex palate with flavours of Mediterranean bushes and berries. The high level of flavour concentration is well balanced with an engaging acidity.

Fragrant florals punctuate the nose, ranging from lavender to hyacinth, and there are hints of heather and thyme, too. Citrusy undertones abound. There’s a profundity to the center palate, which is decked out in sheets of dark fruit-flavored, muscular tannins that retain a telltale elegance, as they envelop the peripheries of the mouth. Long and mineral, this is a delightful wine now and will continue to open up as the years go by. Drink from 2023.

Heres a rather unexpected surprise. Given my excellent first impressions when I tasted this wine four years ago, I expected the Ca Marcanda 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda to steal the show in this vertical. In fact, the wine is currently in an awkward stage during its transition from full primary fruit to tertiary notes. Those aged aromas recall dried current, spice and grilled herb. They serve to underline the dusty tannins and dry sensations you get on the finish. In all, this wine is moving away from its fruit faster than expected. I wonder what will happen during the next 10 years of its evolution: Will the fruit fade or flesh-out further?
