Domaine de Baronarques Grand Vin 2016

54% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 17% Syrah. A seamless on-song Bordeaux style blend, yet with much more ripeness and juicy fruit gum character. Monumental depth of character which is enhanced by well-managed oak that is adroitly integrated with the silky tannins to give a fresh, elegant finish. Very complete, nuanced, long and beautifully balanced. Pitch-perfect now but still lots of life ahead. Excellent release. [Enjoy through 2026+.] Score – 97. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2019)
