94 James Suckling
Very intense red-plum and dark-fleshed peach aromas, plus a hint of pomegranate, make this generous, well-structured Pessac-Léognan red very attractive. However, the full, moderately dry tannins need some time to resolve. Better from 2021, but with a long future ahead of it.
92 Robert Parker
A barrel sample, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 de Fieuzal opens with cedary notes over a core of red and black currants, black cherries and tobacco with wafts of fallen leaves and lavender. Medium-bodied with a firm, grainy texture and oodles of freshness, it has plenty of compelling red and black fruit sparks and an earthy finish
92 Wine Spectator
Youthfully vivid, with lots of red and black currant and raspberry confiture flavors driving through, inlaid with anise and sweet tobacco hints. Vibrant throughout, with a roasted apple wood note giving the finish a second kick. Best from 2022 through 2032. 4,833 cases made. — JM
