This is so on it with velvety tannins and rich fruit. So much fun to taste. Generous and exotic. Mar 2016, JamesSuckling.com

Silky and caressing in feel, with gentle rooibos tea, blood orange and raspberry notes that move gracefully, gaining depth through the finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 92/100 · Tim Atkin MW

Grown on a mixture of gravel and clay soils, this is often one of the bargains of the vintage. This is leafy, floral and complex with plummy plushness, fine tannins and deftly integrated oak. Very easy to drink. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2028

Score 16/20 · Jancis Robinson MW

90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 45% new oak. Crimson. Scented and compact nose. Savoury and supple. Very fine for a Lalande-de-Pomerol. Maybe flattering because it went into barrel before Chenade. GV? Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2020-2026
