2016 Château Sansonnet
Community Tasting Note
PanosKakaviatos Likes this wine:
Saturday, June 10, 2017 - An impressive wine cool and yet ripe, robust and tannic but not drying. Wow. These guys deserved to be promoted. Palate staining cold clearing tannin, and yet there is freshness and juiciness on the mid palate. Nice. You want to drink it. 92-94. Impression not as high when tasted at Grand Cercle, but still positive: Quite a bit of density, the terroir is very propitious for finesse and body and we get both here in the 2016 barrel sample. The finish is somewhat austere but I think that the barrel aging should soften the edges. Good promise.

Someone else described the wine as congested. It sounds more like an epidemic than a beverage. But it does sound interesting—I picked up a case. Thanks for your note.
