Tasting Notes

91-93
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 28 Apr 17
The 2016 Deyrem Valentin has a ripe and generous bouquet that calms down in the glass, revealing attractive cranberry and blackcurrant fruit laced with pressed violets and iris. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, lovely pure-black fruit with just a hint of graphite. What I love about this Margaux (one of my favorites incidentally) is the disarming precision on the finish. It is simply a beautiful wine whose silky texture will seduce from 100 yards!

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Jan 19
The 2016 Deyrem Valentin is soft, plush and inviting. Dark cherry, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are pushed forward in a silky, supple Margaux that offers tremendous near and medium term appeal. Floral notes add brightness on the finish as the 2016 acquires a bit more finesse with time in the glass.
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2030

Clear liquorice, more so than in the other 2016s in the lineup, with tannic build up and smoky oak influence, dark pepper spice, edges of soy and umami. Damson and black cherry fruits, exuberant, a little overly intrustive in its grilled character that takes away some Margaux signature but an enjoyable wine. Jean Sorge owner, located in the commune of Soussans.

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. 35% new oak for 12 months.Mid crimson. Pretty good depth of colour. Heady nose – really rather smart. Obviously youthful but proper sleek, perfumed, satin-textured Margaux. Very youthful though. (JR)
