Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
90–92. Barrel Sample. This is structured and generous with a strong, spicy character from the oak aging. There is a caramel edge that has softened the intense black currant character of this wine.
Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
What is so good about this wine is its balance. The producer has accentuated the fruit of the vintage, leaving aside any big tannic structure. The result is a black-currant wine that is juicy, fresh and developing well. Drink from 2017.
Peter Moser - Falstaff
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, schwarzer Kern, violette Reflexe, einladendes Cassis, mit schwarzer Beerenfrucht unterlegt, mineralische Nuancen. Saftig, knackig, reife Kirschfrucht, gut integrierte Tannine, lebendiger Säurebogen, salziger Touch, ein frischer Speisenbegleiter mit Entwicklungspotenzial.
James Molesworth - Wine Spectator
Fresh, with a lilac hint giving way to iron, damson plum and bitter cherry notes. Focused finish. —J.M.
James Suckling
Currant and berry character with flowers and minerals. Medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. Light and friendly. Points: 86-87
James Suckling
Some good spice and dark-fruit character. Medium body, firm tannins, pleasant finish. A little hollow in the center palate. Points: 85-86
Matthew Jukes
(61 Merlot, 34 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2 Cabernet Franc, 3 Petit Verdot) Structured, upright and cassis-driven. Not too dusty but quite tense and closed. Tannins are lovely and the fruit is classy. Surprisingly skilful. 16/20
Ian D'Agata - Vinous
Bright red. Vibrant, spicy strawberry and redcurrant on the nose, with a bright kick of minty white pepper. Pure and precise, with nicely delineated red berry flavors braced by zippy acidity. Gains weight with air, picking up a sweet, jammy quality and finishing with rising tannins, excellent length and sneaky concentration. Le Boscq's vines grow on very high-quality soils of stones over limestone and clay.
