Decanter
Reviewed December 2018The smoky oak is a little dominant but softens through the palate, giving a charred, smoky, cigar-box edge to the rich black fruits. This is bright and perky, with firm tannins, great impact and a feeling of fruit that was easily extracted due to beautifully ripe fruit. A good wine which will age well. (JA)

James Suckling
Very intense red-plum and dark-fleshed peach aromas, plus a hint of pomegranate, make this generous, well-structured Pessac-Léognan red very attractive. However, the full, moderately dry tannins need some time to resolve. Better from 2021, but with a long future ahead of it.

The Wine Independent
The 2016 de Fieuzal Rouge is deep garnet in color. It comes barreling out with bold scents of blackcurrant preserves, stewed plums, and boysenberries, plus suggestions of wild sage and tar. The medium-bodied palate is packed with taut, muscular fruit, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and compelling freshness, finishing long with a skip in its step. (LPB)

Vinous
The 2016 Château de Fieuzal has a ripe redcurrant and cranberry-scented bouquet, touches of Montecristo cigar and loam coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy with gentle grip, and a dash of black pepper towards the finish. This should give another 15 years of drinking pleasure. (NM)
