About the Chateau Le Boscq 2016
A well-structured Saint-Estèphe with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with firm tannins, fresh acidity, balanced oak, and a long, savory finish that develops beautifully with age.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roast lamb, duck confit, wild mushrooms, aged Gouda, hearty stews, or venison.
James Suckling
The 2016 Le Boscq, owned by Vignobles Dourthe, is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot and was picked 29 September until 20 October. This represents a move towards Cabernet Sauvignon and away from Merlot in the final blend. It has a very ripe, opulent bouquet that does not quite convey its terroir with the same aplomb as say, the Phelan-Ségur. It translates more of the winemaking than the terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, crisp acidity and quite an elegant finish. It is in the second half of this wine that the quality of the vintage shows through. Hopefully the aromatics will gain more composure and it will live up to the finish it currently displays. One to watch.
