Red Wine from Pomerol

Wine Spectator, 99 points: (WS96-99 points) This is loaded for the long haul, with lots of loam- and graphite-edged grip, and it's a bit backward still. But the core of fruit is prodigious, with layers of warm fig, blackberry confiture and plum...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (AG93-96 points) The 2016 Feytit-Clinet comes across as very ripe and pushed, with less of the explosive energy of some past vintages. Or maybe the powerful tannins are simply buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (WA94-96 points) The 2016 Gazin is a blend of 87% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc this year, picked from 22 September with respect to the Merlot and from around 7 or 8 October for the Cabernet Franc...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (WA96-98 points) The 2016 Clinet is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that was picked from 22 September for the young vines, the older vines picked 1 and 2 October, finishing with the Cabernet Sauvignon the...

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: (JD96-100 points) I suspect the finest vintage ever for this estate, the otherworldly 2016 La Conseillante is the normal 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 70% new French oak. It offers a smorgasbord...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: (JS96-97 points) This is very close in quality to the great 2015. Full body yet complex and layered. Very refined. Fine grained tannins. Super tight. A real beauty here. Only 3,000. Beautiful follow up. Second vintage.

Wine Spectator, 94 points: (WS91-94 points) Gorgeous creamed raspberry and blackberry fruit glides along, carried by a fine mineral edge while letting alluring spice and black tea notes skitter through. Dreamy. – JM

Vinous, 97 points: (94-97) The 2016 Hosanna is outrageously beautiful. Creamy, ample and powerful, yet also remarkably light on its feet for such a big wine from clay soils, it exudes finesse from start to finish. The 2016 simply has it...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2016 La Croix de Gay has a refined bouquet with black and red fruit, truffle and subtle violet scents, gaining intensity all the time in the glass. I admire the purity here. The palate is...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: (92-95) This is lovely, with creamy-textured plum, cassis and boysenberry fruit that unfurls slowly and steadily, picking up bright anise and floral notes, as well as a tug of earth at the end. Rock-solid. –JM

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: (JS94-95 points) Firm and linear wine with blackberry, violet and berry character. Medium-to full-bodied second wine of L'Église Clinet and it’s silky and refined while showing power and length. Beautiful tannins. Pure...

Wine Spectator, 96 points: (WS93-96 points) Rich, polished and suave, this lets its plum and cassis fruit flow liberally, while keeping a graphite edge in reserve on the finish. Gorgeous feel, with fruit to burn. And it will burn for a while...
