2016 Château Berliquet
Community Tasting Note
AGELVIS Likes this wine:
92 Points
Saturday, June 26, 2021 - Two hour double decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black cherry (with stems), blackberry jam, lingonberry, tobacco, and subtle leather on the fruit forward and subtly earthy nose. Smooth, dry, spicy palate, with great acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish. 75% Merlot and 25% CF
