Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Neal Martin - 16 Apr 26
The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse has a wonderful typicité on the nose, black fruit laced with pencil box and sous-bois scents, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. Good weight, quite dense on the mid-palate, with a vibrant, spicy finish that has a very discreet dark chocolate edge. Give this another two or three years—an absolute corker of a Deuxième Vin. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Drinking Date: 2030 - 2055

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 18 Jun 26
Still young, showcasing luscious, juicy blackberry fruits and an expansive mid palate, great value for a wine that delivers a clear slice of its big brother magic. Nicolas Glumineau director.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 08 Dec 22
The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is deep garnet in color. It shoots from the glass with pure, targeted scents of black cherries, blackcurrants, and juicy plums, plus hints of fragrant earth, violets, and cumin seed. Medium-bodied, the palate is elegant and refreshing with a soft texture and a savory finish.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2034

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30 Nov 18
The 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with beautiful kirsch, cassis and redcurrants with hints of red roses, black tea, black pepper, chocolate box and cloves. The palate is medium-bodied, very elegant and fresh with gorgeous silken tannins and loads of bright fruit, finishing spicy.
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2036

Very attractive silkiness on the nose with real perfume of maturing claret. Lift and freshness. A tribute to Pichon Lalande grand vin. Could be relatively GV for a mature claret? (JR)
