This may be the best Labégorce ever. Full-bodied and dense yet vivid and energetic. Greatness in the making.

Score 94-96/100 · Neal Martin, May 2017

The 2016 Labégorce is a blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot picked between 4-21 October and matured in 45% new oak. What I like about the bouquet is that it is quintessential Margaux--it could not come from anywhere else. Crushed violets infuse black cherries, blueberry and iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very well-judged acidity, an elegant and very charming Margaux with pencil lead and a touch of spice on the long finish. What a brilliant wine from a Margaux estate that has really upped its game.

Fresh, featuring a racy edge of mesquite that melds with the energetic plum and boysenberry fruit flavors. Stays focused through the finish, picking up alluring spice notes. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Score 16/20 · Jancis Robinson MW

Very scented. Maybe slightly tarty but it delivers lots of flashy fruit. It does seem almost too sweet to me and the oak is not yet fully integrated. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2038
