Tangy and minerally on the palate with lots of crushed-stone and berry character. Full and chewy. Looking forward to seeing its evolution in barrel. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

The 2016 La Croix St. Georges is a supple, easygoing Pomerol with good depth and resonance, but less in the way of either complexity or structure. Succulent red cherry, plum, espresso, mocha and sweet floral notes add to the wine's considerable immediacy. The 2016 should be a fine early drinker. Tasted two times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com

The 2016 La Croix St Georges is a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc picked from 4-10 October and matured in 50% new oak. The alcohol comes in at 13.8%. This has quite an opulent black cherry and boysenberry scented bouquet, a hint of black olive in the background. The palate is smooth on the entry, quite rounded with good body, slightly lower in acidity than its peers with a caressing finish. It just needs a touch of detail and precision to come through on the finish. Maybe this is just a notch below the 2015, but it may well gain more sophistication in barrel.
