Château Les Cruzelles, Lalande-de-Pomerol 2016 6x75cl

92 Points, Neal Martin, 2022-2038 Vinous The 2016 Les Cruzelles, Denis Durantou’s other Lalande de Pomerol after La Chenade, was bottled around the same time, at the end of May 2018. It has a slightly more savory bouquet than the La Chenade, featuring scents of black cherry and lavender plus light notes of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grippy tannin. There is a symmetry and tension about this Les Cruzelles that I love. It’s a tad closed at the moment, but it will open in its own time. Give it a chance to mellow, says Durantou. Sage advice.
