Winemaker Clément Bärtschi turned in a knockout set of 2016s. I was impressed by how well-knit the tannins were already, which bodes extremely well for early drinking. Pulling the corks on most of these wines before their 10th birthdays should be done with only a modicum of guilt, but the top wines, the single-vineyard bottlings, should really be left alone for a while. My opinion is that these are wines for the ages, but I also suspect that they are unlikely to truly close down, unlike their 2015 siblings. The quality of the entry-level wines here continues to move up and, given the quantities produced, they can often be found at some seriously friendly prices.
