Often a wine to look out for in the better vintages this Château Reynon is supremely plush and juicy. There's a really attractive sweetness to the fruit and, while it won't necessarily win prizes for being the most profound wine in the vintage, it will win them for sheer drinkability and immediate appeal. Definitely one to consider as a 'house' claret. Drinking range: 2020 - 2028 Rating: 87-89 L&S (Apr 2017)

Of course, the 2016 Chateau Reynon will always be tinged with sadness as it was the year that proprietor Denis Dubourdieu passed away. This is quite upfront and bold on the nose and perhaps "glossier" than I expected. The palate is very tannic and firm on the entry with touches of tobacco and sea salt, grippy in the mouth. It is clearly a wine destined for the long-term, so afford it two or three years in bottle. Drinking range: 2020 - 2032 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Apr 2017)
The 2016 Reynon is dark, fleshy and inviting. Black cherry, plum, lavender, chocolate, spice and mocha run through this succulent, juicy Merlot-based blend from the Dubourdieu family. The oak needs a bit of time to settle down. Otherwise, this is very nicely done. Once again, Reynon is shaping up to be a fine value. Tasted two times.
