| A REPEAT of the recommended 2016 (**+) was last released on August 31, 2019 at $23.95 (#644799). Here is my new UPDATED note based on a just-purchased bottle: Deep purple colour. Gently complex, slightly spicy, sandalwood-tinged, ripe, plum-cherry nose with some bright cedar notes. Dry, medium bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, fairly intense, somewhat grippy, plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, high acid, gently cedary finish. Great with a steak. his blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1 on the back label. The number 021087 appears on the case meaning that this batch might have been bottled on March 28, 2021. |

| TASTING NOTE: The 2016 Chateau la Pirouette, a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, offers Bing cherry and wild strawberry on the nose, almost Saint-Julien-like in style. The palate is mediumbodied with firm, quite dry tannin, but there is plenty of black fruit here laced with cedar and undergrowth, a touch of mushroom on the finish. I appreciate the stylishness, the understated manner of this Bordeaux rouge, and it should give several years of pleasure at a very wallet-friendly price. Drink date: 2018-2025. Score - 90 (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, Oct. 31, 2017) |
