Note di degustazione
Love the sheer consistency of Le Crock, deliciously well-crafted, confident cocoa bean, slate, liqourice, blackberry, damson and cassis fruits. Plenty of appellation signature, and a moreish juicy signoff. In its drinking window now. 30% new oak, owned by the Cuvelier family of Léoville Poyferré.

Medium ruby in colour, with firm consistency from rim to core, still young and vibrant. As it opens; the black cherry, damson and cherry pit flvours give way to softer waves of tobacco anc crushed rocks. Still full of tannic power but the light is beginning to seep through. 30% new oak,owned by the Cuvelier family of Léoville Poyferré.
The 2016 Le Crock feels just a tad overripe on the nose of black cherries, kirsch and light canned prune aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, quite plush and forward but missing some backbone on the easygoing yet pleasant finish. Drink over the next 5–8 years. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
Tasted blind. Some roundness and subtlety. Very superior and luscious. Inky finish but real drive and character. GV (JR)
