Intense raspberry, boysenberry and cassis flavors are carried by creamy, polished tannins through the finish, which drips with melted licorice notes. This seems like it’s all flashy fruit, but there’s a chalky spine buried here as well. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Perse wine. Very dark crimson. Drying and exaggerated on the end. A tincture of Castillon? Very hard work! Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2032

The 2016 Clos Lunelles, Gérard and Chantal Perse's Côtes de Castillon, is plump, juicy and forward. Sweet red cherry, raspberry, spice and new French oak are pushed forward. Sumptuous and racy, the 2016 will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is very nicely done. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
