Merlot from Bordeaux 2016 Best of Wines

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

Chateau Monbousquet – 2016
Deep purple-black, the 2016 Monbousquet charges out of the gate with rambunctious plum preserves, Black Forest cake and mocha scents with hints of redcurrant jelly, hoisin and cardamom. Full-bodied with a very compelling minerally restraint on the palate, it has a great intensity of red and black fruits with plush tannins and a lively lift to the finish.

James Suckling (90)

Chateau Pomeaux – 2016
This has aromas of currants, dried blueberries, dried herbs, olives, cedar and cigar box. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Firm and nicely spiced, yet a little hollow on the center-palate.
