Neal Martin
The 2016 Ferriere is an accomplished Margaux for the vintage. It has a feminine, refined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and light rose petal aromas, just a hint of vanilla from the new oak that is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, quite juicy tannin. This is very harmonious with fine tannin, impressive depth and a sense of mineralité that is in tune with this vintage. I thought that the 2015 Ferriere was excellent, but this is another step up. Bravo, Clare Villars Lurton! 92-94 points

Beautiful, deeply extracted but elegant and restrained through the body. Things here are extremely precise, the floral frame to the aromatics is clear, and you practically tiptoe through the tannins that are without doubt present. I like this enormously, although it felt a little more generous in 2015. Ferrière has been certified organic since 2015 and in official conversion to biodynamics since 2016. 92 points

The 2016 Ferrière is a deep, fleshy wine. Bol d, and sumptuous, with terrific aromatic nuance, the 2016 comes across as wonderfully complete today. Dark tonalities of fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and grilled herbs are all pushed forward. Beams of tannin underpin the fruit, but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Expressive and layered in the glass, the 2016 Ferrière is a winner. Tasted two times. 89-92 points
