Score 92/100 · Drink 2022-2038, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Oct 2022

Plump dark fruits with structure and grip, elongates through the palate, although lacks some of the complexity and magic of the best 2016s. One to drink now, enjoying the pulped brambled fruits and the depth of flavour, a great easy drinking, ready to go wine, proof of the level of quality in this appellation in the 2016 vintage. The tannins are a little drying on the finish but will soften further. 57hl/h yield, showing the abundance of the vintage, 33% new oak. Harvest October 4 to 17.

Score 92/100 · James Suckling, Jan 2019

The ripeness and fragrance makes this an immediately appealing wine with nice, velvety tannins and plenty of bright blackberries and cassis. Very harmonious finish that has a light touch. Drink or hold.
