Tasting Notes
Robert Parker
Score: 91-93+ Robert Parker"The finest I have ever tasted, this is an awesome De Fieuzal, with plenty of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blueberry, black raspberry, and sweet cherries. A touch of smoke also emerges from this opaque purple-colored wine. Full-bodied, with loads of glycerin, one can see the more generous, viscous nature of this vintage well-displayed, but also a terrific freshness and vibrancy. It should turn out to be a superb effort that drinks well for up to 30 years."
Jancis Robinson
Score: 15.5 Points"Blueish purple. Light rather formless nose. Sweet start ? too Napa Valley really! Rather drying tannins on the finish. Over extracted. Hollow. Drink 2017-2025"
Wine Spectator
Score: 93-96 PointsIntense blueberry, coffee bean and toasted oak character follows through to a full body, with supervelvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is really excellent. Best Fieuzal in years.
Bibendum
Score: 16.5 PointsBags of primary, juicy cassis fruit on the nose and palate with fine tannins playing the supporting role. Ripe, elegant and absolutely correct, it has an abundance of pure Cabernet fruit without any leafy or green notes. Fresh and extremely drinkable, this is the sort of wine that will demand a second or third glass. Drink from 2016.
