Château Haut-Chaigneau 2016, Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux, France

Both wet and dry, the 2016 vintage now delivers palatable, open, nuanced and ready-to-drink reds. That of Pascal Chatonnet spins here on the roundness of very ripe Merlot, sufficiently slender to register in a register of high palatability. Fresh, fine, expressive tannins, reminiscent of graphite and undergrowth. Duck breast ? (5) ©
