Château Berliquet 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

90-92 Barrel sample. Large-scale renovations to the vineyard and the advice of Patrick Valette as consultant have paid great dividends at this ancient vineyard. The wine is ripely opulent but balanced, with new wood that supports rather than dominates, and a structure that promises long aging. — R.V. (6/1/2006)

Château Berliquet 2006 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

90—92 Barrel sample. Very modern, polished in style, a wine whose new wood doesn’t mask the rich fruit. The tannins are more to do with wood than fruit. This will be delicious. — R.V. (12/31/2009)

Château Berliquet 2012 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

90–92. Barrel sample. Powerful and fruity, this finely situated chateau on the edge of the slopes of Saint-Émilion has produced a brightly fruity wine typical of the year. It’s a wine that’s ripe with berries, soft tannins and great juiciness. — R.V. (4/9/2013)

points

Château Berliquet 2011 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

89-91. Barrel sample. The tannins are tough, although the fruit character is juicy in this wine. This makes for a well-structured, solid expression, with intense and crisp acidity at the end. — R.V. (5/11/2012)

points

Château Berliquet 2010 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

88-90 The wine seems to have over-ripe fruit, giving it an unbalanced feel. It does have weight, the tannins offering some structure, while it's the acidity that really gives the wine shape. — R.V. (6/25/2011)

points

Château Berliquet 2003 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

87-89 A smooth, ripe fruity wine, with sweet tannns and black, perfumed flavors. Fine acidity completes a well-made wine. — R.V. (6/3/2004)

Château Berliquet 2002 Red (Saint-Émilion)

Price $45

Shows a fair amount of toasty, vanilla-scented oak, but its well balanced by cassis and tobacco notes. Medium-to-full-bodied, with a supple mouthfeel and dusty earth and tobacco flavors. Ripe cherry fruit comes through on the finish, suggesting that better things may emerge in another couple of years. — J.C. (6/1/2005)

points

Château Berliquet 2008 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

Online Exclusive

85-87 Barrel sample. Ripe, unfocussed fruit, simple blackberry jelly flavor, lacking the structure and the acidity. — R.V. (12/31/2009)
