Tasting notes
Linear and tight with beautiful fruit density, polish and texture in addition to polished tannins. Serious. Could be better than 2015. Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

Dark and enticing, with a fleshy edge to the plum sauce and blackberry preserve flavors, underscored by black tea and warm fruitcake notes. A tasty wine in the making. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com
Pascal Chatonnet. Includes 3% Malbec. Blueish purple. Very dry tannins on the end. Pretty severe. Is this ambition or an ill-conceived desire to make a Lalande-de-Pomerol in the mould of Vieux Château Certan? Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2030
This has a seductive but subtle, charred smoky oak nose. There are dark fruits that feel a touch more restrained than in 2015, and chalky, fresh tannins and good lift through the palate. This is promising plenty of pleasure here. Apr 2017, www.decanter.com, Drink: 2023-2038
