Very fresh, with well-defined red currant and raspberry coulis flavors that stream through, enhanced by a violet note on the mineral-edged finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 91/100 · Tim Atkin MW

The oak was a little prominent on this sample when I tasted it, but there is plenty of sweet raspberry and strawberry fruit on offer, as well as a backbone of tannin, so it should come together in barrel and bottle. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2028

Score 90/100 · Decanter

Good depth of fruit and a well-expressed, quite broad Margaux style which gets more classic each year. Apr 2016, Steven Spurrier, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2021-2034
