Château Berliquet, Grand Cru Classé, St. Emilion 2018 6x75cl

(89-91) Points, Neal Martin, 2023-2037 Vinous The 2018 Berliquet is the first vintage that Nicolas Audebert and his team take full responsibility for. It has an opulent bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and cassis fruit, compared to the Canon just a touch strong. It is a powerful and dense Berliquet with a slightly heady finish, although at 14.2% alcohol it is under control. Since the vineyard contains less limestone than Canon, the imprimatur of the growing season speaks a little stronger. Review Date: 01 Nov 19
