Chateau Pibran, Pauillac 2016

94 points James Suckling
"This is a vivacious and very attractive, ripe Pauillac with aromas of ripe red plums, cherries and blackberries on offer. The palate has a plush, refined and suave array of very attractive, fine but dense tannins and the rich blackberries, plums and mulberries carry long and super fresh. Try from 2023."

93 points Wine Spectator
"This has showy fruit, with dark plum, boysenberry and black currant compote flavors that are nicely melded, with freshness provided by licorice snap and violet notes. A really strong graphite edge drives the finish, with fine acidity playing an important supporting role along the way. Best from 2023 through 2038."

93 points Falstaff
"Deep dark ruby ​​garnet, opaque core, subtle brightening of the edges, delicate herbal spice, black berry fruit, ripe plums, a hint of orange zest. Juicy, good complexity, ripe blackberry jam, integrated tannins, pleasant extract sweetness in the finish, good aging potential."
