2016ChateauLaDauphine

Sans Other Reviewsâ€?The 2016 la Dauphine, from the Famille Labrune, has a lifted and quite floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, smooth in texture, tightening up towards the slightly attenuated finish. This will probably require two or three years in bottle but there is good potential here, even if it does not quite excite as much as last year’s 2015.89-91 pointsNeal Martin eRobertParker.com #230 (Apr 2017)
