Note di degustazione
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc aged in 50% new French oak barrels. Transparent, blackish garnet. Meaty evolution on the nose and some velvety richness on the palate, then a hint of iron filings on the end. Not great value. (JR)

Blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, and hints of graphite define the 2016 Château Bonalgue, a medium-bodied, focused, streamlined Pomerol. I suspect it will flesh out nicely with short-term cellaring and keep for a decade. Made from 100% Merlot, it doesn’t match the more seductive, sexy 2015 but it’s a beautiful wine nonetheless.
The 2016 Bonalgue has a pretty bouquet of perfumed scents of black cherries and cranberry mixed with light cedar and fig-like aromas. The medium-bodied palate is very pure and caressing, delivering supple tannin and finely judged acidity. This is one of the most sensual Bonalgue wines I have tasted, and it comes thoroughly recommended.
