Wine Advocate Robert Parker 2013 (87-89 Punkte) für den 2012-er Jahrgang
This is a positive and forceful effort from Bourgneuf, which tends to produce tannic and rustic wines. The 2012 is neither astringent, earthy nor too rustic. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by notes of black currants, black cherries, cola, forest floor and coffee beans. Fresh and medium to full-bodied with excellent concentration and a nicely textured, clean finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
Wine Spectator 2014 (86-89 Punkte) Fassprobe
Plump and open, with a mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry fruit lined with subtle red licorice and toasted spice notes. Offers a juicy, rounded finish. - J.M.
René Gabriel (17 Punkte)
Tiefes Purpur, satt in der Mitte, Granatschimmer am Rand. Spannendes Bouquet, Cassisnoten und Bombeerstauden, Lakritze- und ganz feine Rauch-Terroirnuancen. Im Gaumen mit samtener Textur, mittlerer Körper, passende Adstringenz, nachhaltiges Finale. Fällt dieses Jahr auf und ist weit über dem sonstigen Pomerol-Mittelmass des Jahrganges.
