Goedhuis, April 2017, Score: 90-92
Shining purple colour, this superb 2016 highlights the investment and dedication that Lilian Barton has put into this recent purchase in the Moulis. Fresh red fruit aromas and flavours, this is a bright and lively wine, with a well-integrated tannic structure. Clean pure and harmonious for midterm drinking. DR

Neal Martin, January 2019, Score: 91
The 2016 Mauvesin Barton has a perfumed bouquet of red cherries, crushed strawberry and hints of soy and warm gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supremely well-judged acidity and a detailed, elegant finish that lingers in the mouth. I must hold up my hands and admit that I underrated this out of barrel (mean old me), and happily upgrade my score. 2021 - 2032

Neal Martin, April 2017, Score: 86-88
Lilian Barton told me that the Cabernet Sauvignon froze overnight in May, which means that there is just 28% in the 2016 Mauvesin Barton, alongside 47% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. Picked between 3 and 26 October, it has an attractive if comparatively simplistic cranberry, blackcurrant and cedar-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, just a splash of soy on the entry, nicely balanced, although that absence of Cabernet means that it just lacks a little backbone and some complexity on the finish. As such, I feel it will be one of the earlier-drinking Moulis wines from the 2016 vintage. Drink Date 2020 - 2030

Antonio Galloni, April 2017, Score: 87-89
The 2016 Mauvesin Barton is terrific. Silky, layered and gracious, as it usually is, the 2016 also offers a bit more depth and midpalate pliancy than is typically the case. Sweet red and purplish fruit, flowers and mint give the wine aromatic lift, and there is lovely purity to the fruit. In 2016, it is the wine's balance that is truly commendable. Tasted two times.

Matthew Jukes, April 2017, Score: 16.5
Very smooth and very creamy, this is a lovely Mauvesin and it is superbly balanced and looking good already. The Merlot carries the wine well, with some fleshiness and this works perfectly, balanced by a lovely crunch of acidity on the finish.

Jancis Robinson, April 2017, Score: 16.5+
Very neat and polished without being at all forced. Classic stuff - Barton Lite-ish. Very nice top-quality oak influence and a bone-dry finish. Lots of energy here. Drink 2022-2032

Region
Moulis
Moulis is an appellation in the south of the Haut-Médoc in Bordeaux. There are many different soil types, including clay, gravel and limestone, which results in a variety of wine styles. Its wines offer good value for money and are generally well structured, often with some of the perfume of Margaux to the east.
