Attractive fruit to this young red with soft tannins and a solid acid backbone. Medium body and a vivid finish.

The 2016 Croix Mouton has an attractive, perfumed, floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the ripe black cherry and cassis fruit. I appreciate the elegance on display here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, well judged acidity, a pleasant saline and black olive note surfacing towards the fresh finish. This Bordeaux Superieur from Jean-Philippe Janoueix can often punch above its class and the 2016 is one of those.
