Tasting notes
Nicely packed, with enticing red and black currant fruit that is enlivened with anise, sweet tobacco and incense notes. Lightly toasty, with just a little tug of cedar at the end. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Lightly meat and two veg on the nose. Juicy - juicer than usual with the tannins well covered up by ripe fruit. Bone dry but not austere. Very correct even if not amazingly winning. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2025-2039
The recent investments in the vineyard and cellar at this large, Japanese-owned property are starting to pay dividends. Fresh, aromatic and stylishly oaked, this is at the lighter end of the St. Julien spectrum, but has enough Cabernet backbone to age well. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2030
Fleshy, spicy red and black fruits of good florality and grip, with balanced acidity and tannins. Shows the continued progress of this highly regarded estate. Apr 2016, Steven Spurrier, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2021-2034
