2016 Chateau Lalande Saint-Julien

93 Points from Wine Spectator: "Owned by the Meffre family, this estate has produced a ripe wine packed with black-currant Cabernet Sauvignon flavors and still-firm tannins. It offers weight and richness but never too much. Drink this wine from 2024." (6/1/2019)

90 Points from Wine Spectator: "This is textbook St.-Julien, with an authoritative streak of cassis and plum preserve flavors carried by a racy graphite and iron spine, backed by roasted apple wood and tobacco notes on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2027. 5,000 cases made, 700 cases imported." (5/31/2019)
