There’s much less of this wine than the straight Château La Fleur do Boüard red, and the price is correspondingly elevated too. But in 2015, there’s not much between them in quality. Over time, this oaky, blackberry and plum fruity red will come into its own, especially as the tannins soften. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2030
Very dark purple. Opulent concentration on the nose. Veering towards syrupy on the finish too. For those who hanker after the turbo-charged right bank wines of old. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2022-2030
100% Merlot. The nose is reserved but hiding a big depth of fruit and the palate is unctuous and spicy with caressing tannins. Rich constitution but a gentler hand than some years. Tannins present but finely honed. Great expression of Merlot. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2022-2032
