Critic Notes
Smoothly, seductively oaked, this under-rated red is every bit as good as the château’s white in 2015. Floral aromas of violet and rose petal segue into an elegant, cassis and red berry palate, both supported by granular tannins. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2028

A fresh and fruity red with blackberry, walnut and mushroom aromas and flavors. Iodine undertones. Full body, silky tannins and a clean finish. Mar 2016, JamesSuckling.com

Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Bouscaut has an earth, tar and charcoal nose with a core of red and black currants and a waft of beef drippings. The medium-bodied palate has good intensity and depth with firm, grainy tannins, a lively backbone and great length. Feb 2018, www.robertparker.com

Coffee beans laid over black cherry fruits – textbook smoky, chargrilled aromas. Sexy, distinctive, damson and black cherry, just a little tight and oak-driven. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 6% Malbec. Apr 2016, Jane Anson, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2023-2032

Mid crimson. Very sweet start. Seems quite Merlot. Not the most concentrated but very friendly. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2035
