Chateau Berliquet 2015The 2015 Berliquet is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc picked between 22 September and 9 October, 8 9 October respectively at 35 hl ha. It has a tight, linear nose at first, precise but tightly coiled with black cherry and bilberry fruit, a touch of slate in the background. The palate is very well balanced with elegant tannin, nicely pitched acidity, nothing ambitious or outrageous, an almost "courtly" Saint Emilion with grace and style.

Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir from 50+ year old vines

Saint-Emilion

rich and voluminous flavors are blessed with reasonable amounts of mouth coating sève that buffers the ripe tannins on the powerful

Merlot 19%

I like the precision of this Pontet-Canet

Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 78%

Robert Parker: 91-93 /100

Country/Region: France

It is a disarmingly and hauntingly beautiful 2016

with lively and fresh cassis

perfume and passion

there is a Pauillac-like sense of authority and aristocracy
