  June 12, 2023: The 2016 Paloumey received 89-90ish reviews by other CT followers. To my palate it's a little early to tell whereit's going. It is now 7 years young....very young. At this time to me it is a little stiff with again, to me, some cherry coexisting with prunes and a hint of chocolate. If I had to guess I think it will drinK nicely in 5 years or so and better 7-10. A bargain aT $33-$35.

  Thought I grabbed a 2015 (which are drinking great right now). Unfortunately the 2016 is shut down with minimal fruit and a muddle mouthfeel of acid and tannin. I see waiting at least 2 more years for some upside. 3.6 stars.

  Aromas of earth, slate, and oak. On the palate, fruit balanced by acidity, oak, and tannin. Everything is well integrated. The finish is short prominent with acid and spice. A great food wine and drinking well now with the ability to cellar a few more years.

  Keine Detailnotizen, hab mir einfach eine Flasche geschnappt und getrunken. Er gefällt mir sehr gut. Ein bezahlbarer Bordeaux, der "früh" trinkbereit ist und doch noch ein paar Jahre Kellerreife aufweisen kann. Es ist ein bekömmlicher Bordeaux, die Gerbstoffe sind schon sehr guet eingebunden. Der Abgang ist lang und auch ein bisschen kratzbürstig, da fehlt noch der letzte Schliff. Er kostet meistens so knapp unter EUR 20.--. Das PLV (Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis) ist sehr gut, da kann man sich ein Kistchen gönnen.

  Clean, fresh, deep purple not much translucence. Light aromatics of cedar, minerals. Cherry, young balsamic, leather, some tartness on the palate. Better after open and breathing for a few hours then plateaued. Lost a lot of its character and became flat, overly dry the next day.
