Joseph Phelps, Insignia other_regions Fresh and sleek

Fresh and sleek

The linear backend is clearly in need of time to flesh out but the underlying material is clearly here to allow that to happen

but offers more of a whimper in terms of mouthfeel

The results are sublime and generous

Joseph Phelps, Insignia other_regions Fresh and sleekThe 2016 Insignia has turned out beautifully. Silky, layered and positively striking, the 2016 is magnificent. In this vintage, Insignia is especially silky, refined and understated, which is unusual for this wine that has often been more bombastic. Readers will have to be patient with the 2016, as it needs at least several years in bottle to be at its very best, but this is all finesse and class. Antonio Galloni
