The 2016 Clos Floridène is an attractive Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend from the Dubourdieu family's vineyards in Graves. Black cherry, smoke, bittersweet chocolate, licorice and dark spices are all pushed forward. The 2016 is a bit more tannic and less plush than it usually is, but it is attractive nonetheless.

Dubourdieu's signature wine delivers great definition of citrus and mandarin zest, with impact and personality. They have done a good job with the vintage despite lacking the zesty pulse of the best years. Apr 2017, www.decanter.com, Drink: 2017-2027

The 2016 Clos Floridene has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of warm plums and cherries, herbs and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, vibrant, juicy and chewy with an herbal lift. Nov 2018, www.robertparker.com
