2016 is certainly one of the greatest recent Bordeaux vintages. Incredibly dense and intense wines that will have a long life were created here. At Mauvesin Barton, the 2016 consists of 47% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. He was given a third of new barriques. This wine has a dark color, going purple. The scent is reminiscent of ripe blackberries and a little toast, very fine and yet accessible. On the palate it is relatively smooth, thanks to the Merlot, but it also has a fine tannin structure and good substance, which makes it suitable for longer storage, even if it does not necessarily need it, as the wine also has a lot of youthful charm . James Suckling rated it 91-92 / 100 points.
