2016 Château Bernadotte

Description

92    James Suckling
“A focused and refined young wine with lovely tannins, impressive depth of fruit and a juicy finish. Medium body. Well-crafted already. Best from here in a long time.”

91    Wine Enthusiast
“This estate, with its historic connections with the Swedish royal family, is now performing well. This latest vintage, with its rich tannins and dense flavors, has concentration as well as attractive black-fruit lusciousness. Drink this well-balanced wine from 2023.”

“The 2016 Bernadotte has a fresh, minty, Pauillac-like bouquet that is well defined and vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, brittle tannin matched with a fine bead of acidity. This feels fresh and focused, with a classic graphite-tinged finish that feels classy. Excellent.”
