The 2016 vintage of Chateau de Fieuzal in Pessac-Leognan from the Bordeaux region is a serious wine. Looking back at earlier vintage notes on the 2009, 1989 and 1986 vintages, two of these being top vintages, this is a producer whose style has appealed over time. Deeply coloured, the 2016 vintage has medium intensity aromas of clove and blackcurrant. The palate has balckcurrant characters, firm but silky tannins and long length on the finish. This is a classy wine with depth and interest for drinking now and the potential for future development. Rating: Very Good to Outstanding (★★★★☆, 93 points). Website: Château de Fieuzal. Tasted: January 2024.
