Wein Wisser 18 / 20 the5/22/2017 Dunkles Purpur mit violetten Reflexen. Konzentriertes Cassisbouquet, dahinter viel rote Pflaumen und Kirschen sowie dunkles Malz. Im fülligen Gaumen sehr dicht mit anschmiegsamen Tanninen, Karamell und Lakritze sowie olundergelee im langen Finale. Gehört auch dieses Jahr zu den besten Médoc-Werten!
Le Figaro - L'Avis du Vin 16 / 20 byClub Vinthe5/15/2017 Nez de petits fruits rouges, bois exotique et point toastée. Bouche intense, frâiche, longue, petit creux en milieu de bouche. Suave.
Bettane & Desseauve 92-93 / 100 by Bettane & Desseauvethe5/3/2017 Le plus harmonieux et réussi de l’histoire, joli fruit, du charme et de la tenue. Pas sur la puissance mais sur une belle et tendre fraîcheur aromatique et des tannins fins.
Jean-Marc QUARIN 15 / 20 byJean-Marc Quarinthe4/28/2017 Ce vin est mieux ajusté, un peu plus « sexy » que de coutume et surtout sans angle. Bonne longueur.
The Wine Cellar Insider 86-88 / 100 byJeff Levethe4/27/2017 Smoky black cherries lead you to a medium-bodied wine with a shot of oak that is in front of the fruit. On the palate, the wine is short but charming with good sweetness.
matthewjukes.com 15,5 / 20 byMatthew Jukesthe4/25/2017 The nose is more exciting than the palate which dries up and finishes abruptly, but this will soften in a short period of time and offer a straightforward Haut-Médoc. 15.5
Jancis Robinson 16,5 / 20 byJancis Robinsonthe4/20/2017 Dark deep crimson. Rather appealing, fresh nose with plenty of ripeness too. Savoury and rather bloody but without the concentration of a great wine. Easy for relatively early drinking. A little drying on the end.
Wine Enthusiast 91-93 / 100 byRoger Vossthe4/19/2017 Barrel Sample. Under the same ownership as Château la Dominique in Saint-Emilion, this estate has produced here a smooth wine, with great tannins and a dense structure. It has weight along with acidity and a crisp aftertaste.
Wine Spectator 89-92 / 100 byJames Molesworththe4/10/2017 Very fresh, with ebullient black cherry and plum compote flavors, lined with anise and singed apple wood notes. Reveals a flash of iron through the finish.—J.M.
Jamessuckling.com 91-92 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/5/2017 Full body, ripe and dense fruit, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. A solid young wine from here.
