"The 2016 Taillefer is a straightforward, easygoing Pomerol endowed with quite a bit of near and medium-term appeal. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, cedar and mint are all nicely lifted. I would prefer to drink this racy, mid-weight Pomerol over the next decade or so." -AG, Dec/2018
89 Points - Wine Advocate
"The medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Taillefer opens with tar and earth over a core of black plums and blackberries with a waft of chargrill. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it's firm, chewy and earthy with good length." -LPB, 11/30/18
(87-89) Points - Wine Enthusiast
"87–89. Barrel Sample. Richly concentrated, this wine has a pepper edge that suggests high alcohol and gives it a fat character, with solid tannins lending some structure." -RV, 4/1/17
