Lisa Perrotti Brown beschreibt den Chateau La Prade 2016 Cotes de Fancs am 30.11.2018 wie folgt: The medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2016 La Prade bursts boldly from the glass with notions of chocolate-covered cherries. blueberry compote and plum preserves with suggestions of eucalyptus. espresso. licorice and cedar chest plus a waft of violets. Full-bodied. rich and plushly textured. the decadent black fruit and spicy layers deliver a very long. impactful finish. This is so tempting to drink right now. but it will age beautifully.
Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:The 2016 La Prade hits the palate with serious depth and intensity. A rush of inky blue/purplish fruit. spice. menthol. crème de cassis. and bittersweet chocolate melds together in this unctuous. super-expressive wine. Creamy. silky tannins enrobe this decidedly rich. flamboyant Côtes de Bordeaux. The 2016 finishes with terrific weight and substance. All of the elements are nicely fused together. Tasted three times.
