Neal Martin
The 2016 Puygueraud is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec that was picked from 11-22 October. This was showing a little over-ripeness on the nose that just detracted from the delineation. The palate is chewy on the entry with plenty of black fruit, a little rustic in style with a slight attenuation towards the finish. I feel that the 2015 demonstrated more complexity last year. Let`s see. 86-88 points

This starts well but doesn`t quite go the distance - the attractive, ripe fruit dips on the mid-palate and doesn`t quite climb back up. 86 points
