Château Berliquet Château Berliquet Saint-Émilion 2016 750ml

Love the combination of dark berries, sweet tobacco and wet earth here. Full-bodied, juicy and chewy with lots of tannins, solid fruit concentration and a medium finish. A blend of 75 per cent merlot and 25 per cent cabernet franc. Try in 2023.

The 2016 Berliquet has quite a high-toned bouquet that gradually gains more composure with aeration, the cedar and mint infused red fruit developing subtle tertiary aromas with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm but fine-boned tannins. This leans towards the dried and more classically styled Saint-Emilion, and it pulls it off well. Very promising. <br/>Drink 2021-2037
