Rich and dark and quite sweet-tasting, but steers a course on the right side of too much. Lots to like in this very dark and velvety modern style. Drinking range: 2022 - 2030 Rating: 89-91 L&S (Apr 2017)

Black fruits, cedary spice, tobacco, and some chocolate notes emerge from the 2016 Château La Dauphine. it’s a powerful, medium to full-bodied Fronsac that delivers the goods. With sweet fruit, ripe tannins, and outstanding balance, drink it any time over the coming decade. Drinking range: 2019 - 2029 Rating: 90 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Feb 2019)
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.

Dark purple. Quite rich and some exotic floral quality on the nose. Not as sappy as some. Just a bit heavy. Drinking range: 2023 - 2031 Rating: 15.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2017)
