"The 2016 Roc de Cambes has turned out beautifully, unwinding in the glass with rich aromas of cassis and cherries mingled with a rich patina of dark chocolate, spices and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, its ample, concentrated core is framed by powdery tannins and impressively lively acids. While it's unavoidably marked by its time in 100% new wood, it's the best integrated "great" vintage of Roc de Cambes I can remember tasting at such an early stage. Include it in a blind tasting a decade from now and watch it slay plenty of heavyweight Right Bank names."

"Roc de Cambes 2016 has a deep garnet color, with a touch of purple. It jumps up with exuberant scents of crushed black plums, juicy mulberries, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of iron ore, smoked meats, and cardamom with a touch of forest floor. Full-bodied, concentrated and with beautifully ripe, rounded tannins, the flamboyant fruit is offset by great freshness, finishing long with exotic spice notes coming through."

"The 2016 Roc de Cambes is still primordial and tough to read, showing lots of oak, yet offers serious depth and richness, tons of raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry fruit, full-bodied richness, and, again, lots of oak and cedar overtones. Hide this in the cellar for at least 4-5 years. Drink 2023-2038"
