Tasting notes
A focused and tight Haut-Médoc with blackberry, currant and stone aromas that follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. One of the best in a long time. A blend of 50 per cent merlot, 49 per cent cabernet sauvignon and one per cent cabernet franc. Drink after 2021.

Dark crimson. Zesty, very dry, classic wine. A little sour on the end. Pretty austere. But some good bright fruit before the austerity. (JR)
A full-bodied red with chewy tannins and ripe fruit. Round and intense. Show lots of character at this stage and should develop nicely in barrel. Better than the 2015. Mar 17, www.jamessuckling.com
