Berliquet Vintage:2005 but all the elements are

but all the elements are impeccably balanced throughout

Despite that wide vision

tobacco and a touch of chimney soot after time

ripe fruit is surrounded by tar

soft textures and overall amplitude

Berliquet Vintage:2005 but all the elements areThe 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 toward the drier and more classically styled Saint milion, and it pulls it off well. Very promising. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. Neal Martin
