James Suckling –
“Enticing aromas of crushed berries, blackcurrants, sweet tobacco, hot stones and licorice follow through to a full body, chewy and dusty tannins and a long, flavorful finish. A juicy and savory young 2016. Try after 2024.”
Decanter –
“I remember how delicious this was at en primeur, and it remains a stately, elongated, perfectly poised Pauillac. It’s austere, certainly, but is also full of rich fruit pared down by a slate texture, the sense of minerality scraping along the palate as you approach the blackcurrant leaf and tobacco finish. It’s excellent quality, and clearly a vintage that suits the personality of Duhart – juicy but restrained. Matured in 50% new oak.”
