Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The 2017 Berliquet, which is matured in new oak, has quite a pure black cherry and iodine bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, quite harmonious if just missing a little complexity towards the finish. This Saint-Émilion is more about the silky texture that I hope will be in situ after bottling. Score: 88 - 90 Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2021-2030 01 May 2018 |

The 2017 Berliquet is quite dense and powerful, but also a bit rough around the edges. It will be interesting to see if aging helps soften some of the angular contours that are present today. There is good depth to the red-toned fruit, but the wine is not fully put together. This is the first vintage overseen by Nicolas Audebert following Chanel's acquisition of the estate. Berliquet is going to require quite a bit of investment and work. Score: 86 - 89 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 May 2018 |

Deep purple-black in color, the 2017 Berliquet has a lovely perfume of violets, pencil lead and baking spices over a core of kirsch, wild blueberries and red currant jelly plus a waft of underbrush. Medium-bodied, fine and fresh in the mouth with firm, chewy tannins, it's elegant and perfumed with a long finish.

Made by the team at Canon, the 2017 Château Berliquet is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Solid notes of black cherries, scorched earth, graphite, and violets give way to a rich, medium-bodied, nicely concentrated red that's going to put on weight with time in barrel and bottle. It has good acidity, the fresh, moderately concentrated style of the vintage, and a clean finish. It has outstanding potential and should drink nicely for upwards of a decade. Tasted twice.

Deep crimson. Ripe and red-fruited with an attractive hint of pencil lead. Juicy and with harmony between fruit and texture but not particularly long, tailing off a little on the finish. (15.5) Score: 15 - 16 Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2028 10 April 2018 |

Some berry and spice character and a salty undertone. Medium body and a fresh finish. Firm and silky tannins. Shows some drive at the end. This is the first year from the owners of Canon. Score: 92 - 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 05 April 2018 |
