Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2027, Jeb Dunnuck, Feb 2019

In a vintage filled with pure, balanced, incredibly impressive whites, the 2016 Château Picque Caillou Blanc is another outstanding white. If Bordeaux whites are your thing, you’re in luck with the 2016s. Perfumed notes of white grapefruit, pineapple, white flowers, and green herbs all emerge from this medium-bodied, vibrant, juicy white that’s ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years.

Lovely lemon cream and lemon balm character to this elegant and vibrant white Pessac Léognan with a long, tight mineral finish, suggesting that this has a great future ahead of it. Drink or hold.

Score 92-93/100 · James Suckling

Solid core of fruit with sliced-green-apple, stone and pear character. Medium to full body and tangy acidity. Shows potential. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
