---|---|---|---|---|
The 2016 Haut-Bergey is powerful and a bit rough around the edges, but pleasantly rustic in its own way. Leather, tobacco, cedar and game power through in this deep, flavorful Pessac-Léognan. Score: 89 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2021-2031 01 January 2019 |

The 2016 Haut-Bergey offers notable thrust and energy in its dark fruit, grilled herb, tobacco and woodsmoke flavors. Powerful and driven in style, if a bit linear, the 2016 has good persistence and plenty of personality. Score: 88 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 25 April 2017 |

The 2016 Haut Bergey has a superior bouquet compared to the previous two vintages that left this writer a bit perplexed. There is greater purity and harmony here: marine-tinged black fruit with just a hint of cassis developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin on the entry, good depth with a slightly "fishy" note in the background. It loses its ways a little towards the finish where I am seeking more structure and detail. Let's see how this performs once in bottle.

Blackish crimson. Something burnt and overripe about this nose. Then leathery and sinewy. Not a comfortable whole. Very inky tannins on the finish. Score: 16 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2024-2038 21 April 2017 |

Offers a grippy, slightly extracted feel, with a layer of plum skin around the core of steeped blackberry and black currant fruit. Delivers ample tarry grip through the finish. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 10 April 2017 |

A firm and chewy red with blackberry, currant and light walnut character. Full body and a structured finish. Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 04 April 2017 |
