Expert Reviews
Pristine, attractive fruit with perfume and freshness. Dark-berry and plum notes, as well as cassis and brambleberries, define the character of both nose and palate. The tannins are saturated in ripe dark berries and plums and deliver a superbly fresh, shimmering, dark-fruited finish. Wow-factor is strong here in 2016. Try this from 2024.
Matured with two-thirds new oak, the 2016 La Croix absolutely reflects the classical style of the vintage. Although oak is a little more on view than in the fruit-dominant 2018, the overall affect here is of great purity and subtlety. A wine clearly showing its quality and breeding. Fragrant and concentrated, with firm but ripe tannins on the palate, a touch of leafiness. Very Bordeaux in structure with dark blackcurrant/Cabernet fruit to the fore. Drinking well but will keep.
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 La Croix de Beaucaillou gives up aromas of cassis, earth, black plums, black cherries and mulberries with wafts of menthol, cigars and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is lively and earthy with firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and mineral-laced.
