The 2016 Ferrière is a dense, full-bodied wine that is going to need at least a few years in bottle to shed some of its tannins. Old vines imbue the 2016 with a palpable sense of power and resonance that comes through in the wine's dark, somber personality. The tannins are equally imposing though, so patience is essential. Blackberry, smoke and gravel are some of the notes that build as the 2016 starts to open in the glass. (93+) Score: 93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2024-2041 Date: 01 January 2019 |

The 2016 Ferrière is a deep, fleshy wine. Bold, and sumptuous, with terrific aromatic nuance, the 2016 comes across as wonderfully complete today. Dark tonalities of fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and grilled herbs are all pushed forward. Beams of tannin underpin the fruit, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Expressive and layered in the glass, the 2016 Ferrière is a winner. Tasted two times. Score: 89 - 92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Date: 25 April 2017 |

The 2016 Ferrière has a light but focused bouquet with a fine graphite seam that runs through the black fruit; light gravelly notes emerge with aeration. The nicely balanced palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, sage and spices and a solid, slightly sinewy (for a Margaux) finish. Very fine.

The 2016 Ferriere is an accomplished Margaux for the vintage. It has a feminine, refined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light rose petal aromas, just a hint of vanilla from the new oak that is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, quite juicy tannin. This is very harmonious with fine tannin, impressive depth and a sense of mineralité that is in tune with this vintage. I thought that the 2015 Ferriere was excellent, but this is another step up. Bravo, Clare Villars Lurton!

Light, toasty nose. Lively and very Margaux. Unforced. Even a bit delicate. Just a tad drying on the end, and far from the most concentrated, but overall quite a pleasure. (17-) Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2024-2040 Date: 17 April 2017 |

Gentle-edged, with pretty plum and cherry paste flavors, lined with subtle cocoa and roasted cedar accents. Offers a supple, floral-accented finish. Score: 88 - 91 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 10 April 2017 |

Tangy and fruity with spice and berry character. Full body, chewy tannins and a tight finish. This will fill out nicely in barrel. From biodynamic grapes. Score: 93 - 94 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 24 March 2017 |
