Chateau Pey La Tour
| Vintage: | 2016 |

| Description: | Tasting notes\r\n\r\nVery concentrated, almost black in appearance. The intense bouquet delivers an explosion of black berry aromas, of primarily cherries and blackberries, together with a touch of spice. Full and generous on the palate, structured by delicate, silky tannins, coated in fresh, juicy fruit. The delicately integrated oak accompanies the full-flavoured, lingering finish of this superb, concentrated, fleshy and delicious Pey La Tour Reserve.\r\nThe vintage\r\n\r\nThe first six months of the 2016 growing season turned out to be particularly rainy and warm, replenishing water reserves in the soils which would serve the vines well in forthcoming months. Which was just as well as sunshine set in for the long haul from mid-June, bringing very dry weather until the end of the harvest. The combined effect of available water supplies and favourable temperatures \u2013 not too excessive during the day and very cool at night \u2013 played an important role in developing the fruit and their aromas during ripening.\r\nThe Merlot harvest, the predominant varietal, extended at a leisurely pace until 16 October. The colours are intense and the tannins silky. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, harvested late 19 October, are concentrated and well-structured, having fully benefited from the lovely Indian summer.\r\nBlend 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot \r\nWine Enthusiast 91 Points \r\nJames Suckling 91 Points\r\n \r\n\r\n |
