Tasted blind. Fresh and polished, just a little simple. Speaks more of winemaking than terroir. Slightly pinched end. A bit dull. (JR)

Score 17/20 · Drink 2022-2030, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2016

61% Merlot picked 20-28 Sep and 39% Cabernet Franc picked 9 and 10 Oct. From mass selections from Ch Lafleur and Ch Grand Village (same owners). Nervy and dense with real savoury excitement. Very sophisticated and rewarding – more structured than the Grand Village Rouge. (JR)

So much dark chocolate, walnut and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full and chewy. Powerful finish. Excellent. Creamy texture. 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc Apr 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
