Fabulous depth of fruit here with blackberry, blueberry, mineral and dried meat character. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Mar 2016, JamesSuckling.com

Very rich, almost brûlée, on the nose. Thick and creamy in texture. Lots of reward. Quite forward. Great for restaurants? Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2019-2032
Lovely, textured, restrained Pomerol from a château that deserves a bigger reputation. Coffee bean and mocha aromas add a sheen to the structured, yet voluptuous fruit flavours with acidity and minerality for balance. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2032
The 2015 Feytit-Clinet is a wine of dark, brooding intensity. Vertical in its construction, the 2015 exudes power and structure. My sense is that the 2015 is recovering from its relatively recent bottling, as it is a bit closed down today. Even so, the depth and richness the 2015 showed as a barrel sample are still very much in evidence. Black cherry, plum, graphite, smoke, heavy toast and lavender add myriad shades of nuance. In two separate tastings, the 2015 was much less expressive than it was as a barrel sample, which probably bodes very well for its long term future. I wouldn't dream of opening a bottle anytime soon. Tasted two times.
