"Here the nose is very much in that young RC mode of 'don't bother me' as it requires aggressive swirling to grudgingly reveal smoky and overtly floral suffused aromas of plum, cassis, spiced tea and sandalwood. The gorgeously sleek medium weight plus flavors possess a wonderfully seductive mouthfeel along with plenty of minerality that also suffuses the splendidly long and beautifully well-balanced if youthfully austere finale. Like the La Tâche this spherical effort is also very much built to age and is a wine that is going to require the better part of three decades to realize its full potential. While it is very much fraught to be making projections about all-time great vintages of RC when there have been so many over the storied history of this wine, I would say that the '16 is RC quite simply breathtakingly good and for me it's the wine of the vintage." (99+ pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, Jan. 2019)
“Deeply colored but not opaque. A perfumed if brooding nose consists of dark currant, hoisin, soy and rose petal scents. There is excellent delineation and minerality to the gorgeously textured medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a firm and youthfully austere finish that just goes on and on. This strikingly beautiful effort is still very much in its chrysalis phase yet even so, it is already the epitome of power without weight. The 2016 is a classic RC of restraint and understatement but regal in its completeness. This is in need of at least 15 years and 20 might be closer to accurate.” (96 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2022)
