Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 86-88
The 2016 Peyrabon is a solid Haut-Medoc with good complexity and fine overall balance. Cabernet Sauvignon notes dominate this attractive midweight red. The 2016 is a touch compact, but quite attractive. Drink it over the next handful of years.
Neal Martin 91
The 2016 Peyrabon has a finely detailed bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, pressed flower and mineral aromas. This exudes class. The palate is well balanced with fine grain tannin, one of the more saline Cru Bourgeois with touches of oyster shell and spice towards the poised, edgy finish. Very fine. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2034
Wine Advocate 87
The 2016 Peyrabon has a feminine and pure bouquet with red cherries and wild strawberry fruit. The oak here is present but neatly interwoven with pressed flower notes developing with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy entry. The acidity is nicely judged, although the light structure suggests that this Haut-Medoc will probably drink earlier than many.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2028
