Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2025-2035, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2020

Tasted blind. Dark crimson. Sweet and flattering and toasty. Du Tertre sort of perfume. Easy to like but not very subtle. (JR)

Love the perfumed and sweet aromas with cinnamon, nutmeg and blackberries. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows depth, finesse and tension. Needs some time to show its true self. Better after 2023.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Boyd-Cantenac is sporting a lot of cedar on the nose, overshadowing the attractive cassis, cherries and dried herbs scents. The palate is medium-bodied, chewy, oaky and a little hard to love at this stage due to the abundance of wood.

Very dense glowing crimson. Rather farmyard aromas – are we in Chianti Classico? Masses of extraction and slightly syrupy texture but not enough freshness. Out of balance. (JR)
