Bettane & Desseauve 89-90 / 100 by Bettane & Desseauvethe5/3/2017 Nez exubérant, très floral, framboise fraîche, bouche veloutée, charnue, équilibrée par une délicieuse fraîcheur.
Wine Advocate 91-93 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/2/2017 The 2016 Serilhan is a treat. It has a gorgeous, beautifully defined bouquet with blackberry, cigar box and smoky aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent black and red fruit, very fine tannin, a veneer of quality new oak but with more than sufficient fruit underneath and a long sensual finish. Utterly seductive, this is a temptress from Saint Estèphe!
The Wine Cellar Insider 89-91 / 100 byJeff Levethe4/27/2017 A burnished, ruby color, this wine has easy to find smoke, tobacco and dark, mouthwatering fruit. There is good concentration and a freshness ignited by a swift kick of zing at the end.
Decanter.com 92 / 100 byJane Ansonthe4/24/2017 Plump, plush, and extremely seductive aromatics, this has the St-Estèphe vigour of the year. There are some soft cocoa-dusted bitter chocolate shavings and a silky, balanced character. It should be good value, and a great example of the appellation in this vintage. Lovely. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040.
Jancis Robinson 16,5 / 20 byJancis Robinsonthe4/21/2017 Hubert de Boüard consulting. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot. Blackish crimson. Minerally St-Estèphe nose. Great energy and life. Sinewy
Jamessuckling.com 92-93 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/4/2017 Layered and very intense with dark-fruit and spice character. Hints of chocolate. Full-bodied, juicy and fruity. Long finish. Best ever from here?
