Other Reviews....
Well executed, ripe and fairly open fruit that flirts just a touch with vanilla bean. Contemporary, rich and highly appealing, this will make for good early to medium drinking wine.

Full yet tight and tannic with a polished texture and a chewy finish. Lively and intense.

The 2016 La Tour de Bessan is plump, forward and absolutely delicious. Made in a juicy, fruit-driven style, the 2016 is not the last word in complexity, but it is tasty and should drink well with minimal cellaring. Sweet tobacco, earth and herbal notes add aromatic lift to the plush red fruit in this succulent, inviting midweight Margaux. Tasted two times.
