Tasting Notes
This is a fantastic second wine with walnut, berry, stone and bark character. The texture is really excellent with chewy yet ultra-polished mouth feel. Long and intense. Better than 2015. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

This is a well-balanced and beautifully structured wine. Its acidity is impressive, while the spicy tones and fruity richness combine with the tannins to yield a structured yet fruity wine. It will age well over the medium term. Apr 2017, Roger Voss, www.wineenthusiast.com
Rather sumptuous nose. Tarry start with lots of sweet black fruit and drama. Pretty tight and for the moment hard work, but it should relax with time. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2025-2038
The 2016 Le Carillon d'Angélus is plump, juicy and open-knit. In 2016 Merlot is a bit more pronounced than it has been in the past, while there is no Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe, silky tannins add to an impression of total finesse. Dark red cherry, mocha and plum are pushed forward in this succulent, giving Saint Émilion. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
