April 6, 2024 - A stuttering start to my first bottle from the case. Quite a different profile to previous vintages such as the 15 or 10 or 9 all of which rock, the 16 has more crunchy red fruit and less obviously Pomerol at first glance. Took awhile to open in fact never fully did even on day two, but well balanced and moderately enjoyable at this stage but I will wait another year or two for the next

March 12, 2024 - Full bodied fabulous Pomerol but the 2016 could do with a few more years cellared. Long long legs on this one.

September 2, 2023 - This is just a beautiful Pomerol with a silky-fine texture and a firm structure. Delicious dark red and black fruits grace the palate balanced by good acidity and a refined mineral cut. The tannins are crisp at this point but the velvety, layered mouthfeel suggests a long and worthwhile evolution ahead. Decanted for 3 hours and best with beef tenderloin at the table. 93+

August 20, 2023 - Big bold fruit - Blackberry - Dark Cherry & Plum. Notes of smoky Cedar - Vanilla. Superb balance of focused acidity & firm grippy Tannins. Finishes long ending with Earthy Tobacco & Spice. Touch of Graphite with soft Leather note. All in everything works together to result in an excellent tasting experience. Definitely a red meat wine that will only get better with age.
