Full-bodied, juicy and chewy with lots of tannins, solid fruit concentration and a medium finish. A blend of 75 per cent merlot and 25 per cent cabernet franc. Try in 2023.\u003cbr\u003e\nRP93\u003cbr\u003e\nRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nMedium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Berliquet (blended of 75% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc) is a little mute to begin, opening out to expressive kirsch, black plums and black cherry compote scents plus nuances of unsmoked cigars and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic intensity and energy, with a firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins and a lively lift to the mineral-laced finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nWE92\u003cbr\u003e\nWine Enthusiast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with spice, blackberry and black plum, this is generous, yet balanced by refined acidity and dense tannins that will give it a chance to age over the medium term. It is an apt and attractive reflection of the vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJD92\u003cbr\u003e\nJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom a site near Canon, just down from Beau-Séjour Bécot, the 2016 Château Berliquet is a plump, rounded, medium-bodied Saint-Emilion with classic red and black cherry fruits, hints of leafy herbs and earth, and a charming, balanced feel that’s very much in the style of the 2016 vintage. A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, brought up in 50% new oak, it will put a smile on your face any time over the coming 10-15 years.\u003cbr\u003e\nD91\u003cbr\u003e\nDecanter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA great wine this year, showing the real quality of the vintage. Juicy black fruits and a well controlled extraction combined with good acidity. Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt consult.
