Beautiful garnet-red colour with cherry tint. Brilliant and limpid. Nose is neat with a good intensity. Very fresh, red fruits, spices and fresh almond. A nice touch of undergrowth. The attack is supple evolving towards a pleasant tannic structure. It is a hearty, round wine. The final is long with cherry and mint aromas. It is a very pleasant wine dominated by fruit and freshness.

The 2016 Castéra has a simple bouquet with blackberry, pot pourri and light iris aromas, pretty if not the most complex on the block. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, good depth, quite precise with cedar and white pepper towards the persistent finish. This gets better with aeration, gaining more precision and ends up as a really, very fine Médoc Cru Bourgeois.
