Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling

This is really beautiful in 2016 showing blackberry, blueberry and walnut character. Full-bodied, tight and focussed with fantastic length. Serious. Best ever modern vintage? Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

Inviting, with a core of warm fig and boysenberry fruit backed by a hefty dose of anise and fruitcake. Sweet spice accents through the toasted finish. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Deep crimson. Smooth and ripe. No rough edges. Until a sort of dry Marmite finish (love it or hate it). Cool, light end. Rather a lack of fruit intensity on the mid palate. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2035

The 2016 Beau-Séjour-Bécot is terrific. Bold, ample and juicy on the palate, it exudes depth in all of its dimensions. The super-ripe red cherry, smoke, blood orange, spice and red plum flavors are supple and tasty. The 2016 spent about a month on the skins, with some lots fermented in 600-liter barrels. New oak will be about 90 percent. Jean-Philippe Fort is the consultant. Tasted two times. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
