Dominus 2014 mit 98 Punkten bei James SucklingJames Suckling beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 am 27. Januar 2017:

Fabulous purity and clarity of fruit. Black currants, blackberries and violets. Full body, big soft tannins and a chocolate, hazelnut and dark fruit character. Some hot stones too. Ripe, velvety and fruity finish. Better in 2020 but delicious to drink now. Wonderful Dominus.

 
Dominus 2014 mit 97 Parker Punkten ausgezeichnetRobert M. Parker Jr. beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 im Oktober 2016:

The 2014s. where the production of Napanook was only 2.200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4.000 cases. was another early harvest. although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus. which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon. 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix’s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent, layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.


96+ Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Dominus 2014 Dominus Estate Napa ValleyThe 2014 Dominus is endowed with tons of depth, power and muscle. Black cherry, plum, smoke, menthol, licorice, chocolate, dried herbs and dark spices are all pushed forward. Deep, pliant and exquisitely layered, the 2014 possesses tons of concentration and mid-palate depth. Like so many wines in this vintage, the 2014 comes across as a hybrid of 2013 and 2012. I very much like the energy and focus in this wine. This is a fabulous wine in every way. With time in the glass, the flavors gain in brightness and focus. There is certainly much to look forward to.

96 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Dominus 2019 Napa Valley Dominus EstateDen Dominus bewertet James Molesworth wie folgt:

A loaded wine, though reserved in style, with waves of dense cassis, plum reduction and blackberry preserves moving through authoritatively, while sweet bay leaf, warm loam and tobacco accents fill in the background. The long cast iron spine is deeply buried in the fruit, and this has superior cut and drive. Built for serious cellaring, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 3,500 cases made.
 
98 Sucklingpunkte für den Dominus 2019 Napa Valley Dominus EstateDen Dominus 2019 beschreibt James Suckling im März 2022 wie folgt:

Lots of crushed stone, lead pencil and licorice aromas that are extremely aromatic and bright. Black cherries, cloves and purple fruit, too. Full body and a round and ripe center-palate with a juicy interior. It opens at the end with a savory and juicy finish. Layered and beautiful. Drinkable now, but better in three or four years.

 
98 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Dominus 2019 Napa Valley Dominus EstateDen Dominus 2019 beschreibt Joe Czerwinski im Mai 2022 wie folgt:

The 2019 Dominus is blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, aged in 40% new French oak. Impressively dark-hued in the glass, it yields scents of cherries and cassis on the nose—or is it black cherries and redcurrants? Subtle notes of mocha, pencil shavings and almost Graves-like earthiness wind through the concentrated, medium to full-bodied palate, giving it a sense of savory gravitas, while the finish is silky and long, leaving a lingering residue of soft tannins and mouthwatering freshness.

96 Punkte bei Jeb Dunnuck für den Dominus 2019 Napa Valley Dominus EstateDen Dominus 2019 beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck im Februar 2023:

From a slightly more challenging year for this estate due to the heavy springtime rains, the 2019 Dominus is a classic blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc from this team brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. It offers a more ruby/plum and borderline opaque hue as well as a great nose of ripe currants, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and a touch of loamy earth. This round, supple, medium to full-bodied effort has soft tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. It's not going to match the all-time greats here, but it’s a charming, endearing Cabernet that will offer incredible pleasure with just 3-5 years of bottle age and drink well for 20+ years or more.

WINE OF THE YEAR

97 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für denJames Molesworth im Oktober 2021:
BEST EVER für den Winespectator - kein Wein des Dominus Estate wurde je höher bewertet.

This is tightly packed, with sleek, pure, driven notes of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry puree allied to an iron spine, while subtle alder, juniper, sweet bay leaf and tobacco notes peek in throughout. Very fine-grained, but impressively sturdy in feel, with a long, lingering note of iron piercing the finish. For the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2040. 4,000 cases made.

 
100 Sucklingpunkte für denJames Suckling beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2018 im Mai 2021: 

This is incredible on the nose, offering hot stones, blackcurrants, iodine and wet earth. Full-bodied with a tight center palate, then it opens with a tannin structure that is weightless and spreads across the palate. Totally integrated on the palate. This is a magic-carpet wine. Really incredible. One of the reference points for the vintage. Drinkable now and please try a bottle, but it’s one for the cellar.

 
99 Parker Punkte für den Lisa Perrotti Brown beschreibt den Dominus 2018 im Februar 2021:

Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Dominus slowly emerges from the glass with profound notes of blackcurrant cordial, ripe black plums, boysenberries and Black Forest cake with hints of violets, star anise, cracked black pepper, raspberry leaves and pencil lead, plus a touch of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers impactful black fruit layers, creating a beguiling sense of richness that is beautifully countered by invigorating freshness and great poise, framed by super ripe, plush tannins and beautiful tension, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note and, finally, lots of mineral sparks. For all that it is at the moment, one cannot help but feel that this 2018 is holding something back. Give it a good five years in bottle, at least, and then get set for what I suspect will be a mind-blowing transformation over the next 30 years+.


98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für denAntonio Galloni im Januar 2022:

The 2018 Dominus has really shut down over the last year. I underestimated its imposing structure and density, both of which are on fully display today. The 2018 is a potent Dominus endowed with superb depth and tons of vertical explosive energy allied to a feeling of elegance that becomes increasingly apparent over time. Dark fruit, spice and a whole range of earthy, savory notes add layers of complexity. Superb.

 
100 Punkte von Jeb DunnuckJeb Dunnuck im Januar 2021:

The flagship 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot brought up in 40% new French oak. With an essence of Cabernet-like character in its darker currants, green tobacco, cedar, graphite, and floral aromas and flavors, this gorgeous wine is full-bodied and has bright yet integrated acidity, polished tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s just gorgeously put together and a magical, flawless wine. It's going to take a decade to hit maturity but will evolve for 40-50 years in cold cellars. It is as good as it gets in classic, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon!

100 Sucklingpunkte für denJames Suckling beschreibt den 2019 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon im Mai 2022 wie folgt:

Wow! Die Aromen sind wirklich außergewöhnlich, mit einem Tangorand zu den schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Graphit, Bleistift, Blumen und feuchter Erde. Es verändert sich die ganze Zeit. So ausdrucksstark und raffiniert. Vollmundig mit großer Intensität und Fruchttiefe. Die ultrafeinen Tannine zeigen Millionen von Schichten. Die Textur auf dem Gaumen ist hervorragend und hält Minuten an. Dies ist der neue 1974 George de Latour, der eine Legende war. Echter Napa Valley Rotwein hier. Jetzt trinkbar, um ihn zu verstehen, aber wirklich großartig in fünf bis sechs Jahren und darüber hinaus. Maßstab.

94 Punkte bei James Suckling für den Best Ever Othello 2015 aus dem Napa ValleyJams Suckling zum Othello 2015 im Mai 2018:

This is best Othello I have had. Real earth. mushroom and dark-fruit character. Full body. melted tannins and a clean finish. Dialed in the fresh finish. Drink or hold.

BEST EVER

Der Othello 2015 Napa Valley ist der Einstieg in die Welt der Dominus - Weine. Er ist so etwas wie der "Le Volte" bei Ornellaia. Ein Drittwein der schon einiges von seinen grösseren Brüdern verrät und so manches gemeinsam hat. Der Othello ist noch relativ jung auf dem Internationalen Markt. der Othello wird seit dem Jahrgang 2006 produziert. ursprünglich auf dem Asiatischen Markt vermarktet. wird er nun auch bei uns viel Freude bereiten. Der 2012er Othello ist der erste Jahrgang der auch auf dem Euroäischen Markt verfügbar ist. Mit dem Kracherjahrgang 2013 erhielt er einen super Nachfolger. der allerdings etwas Zeit brauchen wird um seine Kanten zu glätten. Er geizt nicht mit seinen Reizen. Wie im Bordeaux auch verwendet Christian Moueix die klassischen Bordeauxrebsorten in dieser Blend. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon. 8% Cabernet Franc und 6% Petit Verdot. Die Trauben werden per Hand gelesen. bei behutsamen überpumpen findet die schonende Extraktion statt. Der Ausbau erfolgt dann über 14 Monate iin Französischen Fässern.

Bottled in January 2019, the 2016 Insignia is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Malbec, aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is a little reticent to begin, needing a fair bit of coaxing to reveal beautifully beguiling notions of wild blueberries, warm blackberries, black currant cordial, cloves and cedar chest with nuances of camphor, yeast extract, charcuterie and candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic elegance and depth, revealing loads of subtle floral, black fruit and earthy layers with a firm, very finely grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. 13,400 cases were made.

A barrel sample made up of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec to be aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak, the 2016 Insignia Proprietary Red Wine has a deep garnet-purple color and is a little reticent at this still nascent stage (to be bottled in January 2019), opening out to reveal chocolate-covered cherries, wild blueberries and black raspberries with touches of underbrush, cedar chest and bouquet garni plus a hint of grilled meat. Medium to full-bodied, the palate springs forth with exciting energy, offering loads of red and black fruit layers and compelling herbal sparks, featuring a firm, fine-grained backbone and bags of freshness lifting the finish. 13,500 cases are expected to be made.

 
98 Punkte von James Suckling PlaketteVerkostungsnotiz von James Suckling vom 03. Mai 2019:

Lovely density and intensity with dark berries, blueberries and inky undertones with hints of spice, chocolate and walnuts. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a flavorful finish. The texture and length are fantastic here. Complex. Hints of smoky wood at the end. This needs three to five years more in bottle age. Exciting wine. Try after 2022.

 
97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Joseph Phelps Insignia 2016Verkostungsnotiz von Antonio Galloni vom Januar 2020:

The 2016 Insignia has turned out beautifully. Silky, layered and positively striking, the 2016 is magnificent. In this vintage. Insignia is especially silky. refined and understated, which is unusual for this wine that has often been more bombastic. Readers will have to be patient with the 2016, as it needs at least several years in bottle to be at its very best, but this is all finesse and class.

Weinschreibung:
Der Inglenook Rubicon 2013 Napa Valley ist das Flagschiff der Inglenook'schen Cabernets. Im Glas, typisch Cabernet, von einem dunklen Rubin- bis Purpurrot, zeigt sich die Nase mit Aromen von Cassis, Minze, Milchschokolade, Mandel und leichten Röstnoten. Im Mund eine volle Konzentration an dunklen Früchten, von Kirsche über Brombeere bis Cassis, teilweise leicht marmeladig. Diese Fülle wird gepaart mit griffigen Tanninen, die dem Wein sein Potential verleihen und sich mit der Zeit geschmeidig entwickeln, elegant, mit langem Finish, jetzt schon toll zu trinken!

Rubicon, ein Weltklasse-Wein von Inglenook Inglenook, 1879 von Gustave Niebaum gegründet, bleibt das Kronjuwel des Napa Valley unter der Führung der Coppola-Familie.
Das Anwesen wurde in den 1970er Jahren von Francis Ford Coppola erworben, und der Wein wird von Philippe Bascaules, Generaldirektor des Château Margaux, hergestellt. Die Produktion von Rubicon, Inglenooks erstklassigem Rotwein, begann 1978 und stellte das Erbe des Weinguts, Weltklasse-Weine zu produzieren, wieder her. Rubicon ist eine elegante Cuvée aus den besten Weinbergsparzellen und zeigt das höchste Potenzial sowohl des Anwesens als auch des Jahrgangs. Unter der Leitung von Philippe Bascaules, Inglenooks Direktor für Weinbau, nimmt Rubicon stolz seinen Platz neben weitaus älteren, verehrten Jahrgängen von Inglenook in den Sammlerkellern weltweit ein.

97 Sucklingpunkte für den Inglenook Rubicon 2013 Napa Valley RutherfordJames Suckling zum Inglenook Rubicon 2013 im Mai. 2016

Die Klarheit und Präzision dieses Weins sind phänomenal, mit Aromen von schwarzen Johannisbeeren, floralen Noten, Blaubeeren und Orangenschale. Komplex und subtil, mit Anmut und Würde. Vollmundig, mit ultra-polierten und raffinierten Tanninen sowie einer lebendigen Säure. Der Wein braucht drei bis vier Jahre, um sich am Gaumen vollständig zu öffnen, aber er zeigt bereits jetzt eine schmeichelnde Qualität.
 

97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Inglenook Rubicon 2013 Napa Valley RutherfordVinous im Dezember 2016:

Der 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rubicon stammt aus dem hinteren Teil des Weinguts, das an den Ausläufern der Mayacamas Mountains liegt. Hier sind die Weine dicht, kraftvoll und strukturiert. Genau das zeigt sich im Jahrgang 2013. Schichten von dunklen Früchten bauen sich zu einem Crescendo von Aromen, Geschmacksnoten und Texturen auf, die mit Anklängen von Mokka, Espresso, Kies und dunklen Gewürzen durchzogen sind. Das neue Holz, das anfangs sehr dominant war, beginnt sich zu integrieren und lässt die Frucht stärker hervortreten als in der Vergangenheit. Dies ist eine herausragende Darbietung für den Rubicon 2013.

100 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 PauillacWilliam Kelley im April 2022:

One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. Wafting from the glass with arresting aromas of cassis, blackberries and cherries mingled with violets, cigar box and warm spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, concentrated mid-palate framed by exquisitely powdery tannins and ripe acids, and concluding with a long, perfumed finish. This rivals the 2010 and 2016 as the greatest Lafite of the decade, and of those three vintages, it's clearly the most sensual and demonstrative out of the gates. The blend contains fully 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and attained a modest 13.4% alcohol.  
 
100 Suckling Punkte für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 PauillacJames Suckling über den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

12 Jan, 2022 – So much sweet tobacco, Spanish cedar, dried flowers, dark mushrooms and roses. Really aromatic. This is so polished and very powerful, yet ethereal and refined at the same time. The finish goes on for minutes. Tight and harmonious. You want to drink it! So balanced, yet it will age beautifully. It will be this good forever. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 5% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Better after 2031.
 
98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 PauillacAntonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild is a mesmerizing wine that shows how compelling the vintage is on the Left Bank. Elegant, creamy and exquisitely layered, the 2019 Lafite conquers all the senses. There is tremendous density and power that belies the 12.8% alcohol, but then again, that can be the magic of Bordeaux. Classic Lafite red plum fruit, spice, cedar, licorice and rose petal linger on the striking, persistent finish.
 
98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 PauillacUnd Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild screams Cabernet Sauvignon on the nose of intense black fruit, graphite and subtle minty aromas, supremely well-defined and revealing a hint of star anise with aeration. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully balanced, offering sappy black fruit, black pepper, graphite and just a touch of spice. This has more body, maybe even a touch more sinew than recent vintages, perhaps because of the reconfiguration of the Merlot parcels (see my note en primeur). Very persistent and almost uncharacteristically grippy on the finish, this is a gifted Lafite-Rothschild that will last 50+ years. It will certainly surpass the 2018 with continued bottle age.
 
98 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 PauillacFür den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

A very energetic wine, with wild loganberry, mulberry and black currant fruit flavors that bristle with mouthwatering bay leaf, licorice root and savory notes. The finish is tight now, with charcoal shadings and a smoldering cast iron note, but there's additional black tea, incense and floral hints for contrast. Dense and driven, with more than enough elements to match its energy, meaning this can cruise in the cellar for a long time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2045.

21 Jan, 2022 – This is incredibly complex, with all the cabernet descriptors, from mint and lead pencil to blackberry, blackcurrant and menthol. It changes all the time in the glass, just as in the nose. Yet, it remains cool and classy. Full-bodied with very fine, tight tannins that run the length of the wine, carrying on and on and on. Well-framed and compact wine. Never-ending procession of currant, berry and black cherry fruit, together with licorice, earth and just a hint of black truffle. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Give this until 2028 to show its true greatness.
 
98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 PauillacJeb Dunnuck im April 2022:

The 2019 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, and it hit a relatively normal alcohol level of 13.5%, which is higher than the 2009 and shows the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon in the vintage. It shows the new, modern style of Bordeaux in its purity, elegance, and finesse while still being an incredibly concentrated Pauillac, and where some vintages of Mouton can just about jump out of the glass, this is a more seamless, streamlined, elegant beauty that builds with time in the glass and is just about impossible to fault. Gorgeous crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, forest floor, licorice, damp earth, and graphite, as well as some espresso nuances, emerge on the nose, and it's rich, medium to full-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This is pure haute couture in Bordeaux that unquestionably offers pleasure today (again, just about all modern Bordeaux from a great vintage offer pleasure in their youth) but will require a solid decade to hit maturity, and it should evolve for 20, 30, 40 years or more. This is not an unformed beast of wine that demands bottle age, and I suspect it will have a broad, forgiving drink window that consumers will love.
 
98+ Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 PauillacWilliam Kelley im April 2022:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is the most dramatic of the Médoc first growths, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries and violets mingled with rich aromas of cedar, cigar wrapper, licorice, loamy soil and spices. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and powerful, with huge levels of concentration and an ineffably complete, seamless profile, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Plenty of ripe tannin is hidden by its ample core of fruit, and despite its youthful polish, this will require plenty of bottle age to realize all its potential. This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot tastes in many respects like the 2016 Mouton's more sun-kissed cousin.
 
99 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 PauillacAntonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild has come together beautifully since I tasted it from barrel. Today, it is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Powerful and statuesque in its beauty, Mouton is remarkable in every way. Layers of dark-toned fruit confer seriousness and intensity that builds with time. All of the finesse I saw in barrel is still present. Since then, the 2019 has gained flesh and vibrancy. Magnificent!
 
98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 PauillacUnd Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild has a magnificent bouquet that gradually unfolds in the glass to reveal blackberry, iodine, touches of crushed violet and then, with time, that gorgeous mintiness, just like you get in the 1945 (not that this is the 1945). The palate is beautifully balanced with a lattice of fine, succulent tannins, pure black fruit laced with graphite, blood orange, a touch of black pepper and a hint of pitted black olives on the finish. Very persistent in the mouth, this is a brilliant Mouton-Rothschild that will blossom with bottle age.
 
98 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 PauillacFür den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Mouton Rothschild 2019 Pauillac:

Plows straight ahead, with a rather towering display of cassis as well as cherry and plum reduction notes that are pure, defined and deftly supported by a seamlessly embedded iron spine. Features light savory, floral and red tea notes that flash in the background, while the fruit glistens through the extremely lengthy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The 2020 Angélus has turned out superbly and underlines this estate's continuing shift to a more elegant, integrated style that offers a purer expression of its terroir. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, it unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, rose petals, mint and subtle hints of licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, beautifully layered and vibrant palate that's deep, precise and penetrating, concluding with a mouthwateringly chalky finish. Some 120 hectoliters of Cabernet Franc, amounting to around 20% of the blend, were matured in foudre this year, which no doubt helps to account for the significantly reduced oak impact in the 2020.

Blackberry and plum character with chocolate, too. Oyster shell. Full and very firm with a linear sensibility. Tight and powerful. Very pure fruit. Tension and energy there. Polished tannins. Some coffee bean and chocolate. Give this at least five or six years. 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc. Try after 2028.
 
98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion Den Chateau Angelus 2020 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The flagship from this great estate, the 2020 Château Angelus checks in as 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in new barrels. It’s darker and more concentrated compared to the 2019, offering beautiful, medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrants, black raspberries, sandalwood, spring flowers, and smoked tobacco. With just about flawless balance, it's not the blockbuster style of a decade ago, but it has gorgeous purity, ultra-fine tannins, a round, seamless mouthfeel, and a great, great finish. It's very much in the classic, balanced, structured style of the vintage, and a solid 7-8 years of bottle age are recommended. It will have 30+ years of prime drinking.

Like a bouquet of fresh flowers on the nose, as well as blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants. Sandalwood as well. Full-bodied with incredibly polished tannins that have the texture of the finest velvet. The palate is very fine, oriented with fabulously pure fruit and minerally and stone undertones at the finish. It’s so classical in nature. Essence of Ausone. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2027.

Chateau Cheval Blanc 2020 Saint Emilion mit 100 Punkte auszeichnung von Jeb DunnuckJeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Wein im März 2023

Jeb Dunnuck beschreibt den Grand Vin 2020 Château Cheval Blanc als eine Cuvée aus 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc und 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, die wie immer in 100% neuen französischen Eichenfässern gereift ist. Er lobt die Finesse, Eleganz, Komplexität und die tiefpurpurne Farbe dieses Weins. Das Bouquet offenbart süße rote und schwarze Früchte, Frühlingsblumen, würziges Weihrauch, erdigen Boden und rauchigen Tabak. Der Wein präsentiert sich am Gaumen absolut makellos, vollmundig, perfekt integrierte Eiche, reife, seidige Tannine und ein herrliches Finish. Dunnuck empfiehlt, dem Wein 7-8 Jahre Flaschenreife zu gönnen, aber betont, dass er bereits jetzt Freude bereitet, wenn er ausreichend belüftet wird.
 
Die Bewertung für den  vom Wine Cellar Insider lautet wie folgt.The Wine Cellar Insider (Jeff Leve) : 99 / 100 Jeff Leve lobt die monumentale Cheval Blanc 2020 mit einem Bouquet aus weißen, roten und violetten Blüten, indischen Gewürzen, roten und schwarzen Früchten sowie Trüffeln. Auf dem Gaumen überzeugt der Wein mit unzähligen Schichten von cashmereartigen Früchten, raffinierten, seidigen Tanninen, Frische und Energie. Die ungeheure Länge und Finesse des Abgangs machen diesen Wein zu einem Meisterwerk, das Jahrzehnte lang reifen kann, aber bereits in jungen Jahren genossen werden kann. Leve empfiehlt den Genuss des Weins zwischen 2027 und 2065.  
 
Das Decantermagazin bewertet wie folgt: 99 Punkte 
Das Decantermagazin beschreibt Château Cheval Blanc 2020 als ein Wein mit Aromen von Gewürzen, Anis, Rosmarin, schwarzen Johannisbeerblättern, roten Johannisbeeren, Minze und Pfingstrosen. Insgesamt wird die gesamte aromatische Bandbreite präsentiert, begleitet von einer fülligen Fruchtigkeit im Körper des Weins. Die kompakten und kraftvollen Tannine sind von saftigen Himbeer- und Brombeerfrüchten umhüllt. Der Wein zeugt von Lebendigkeit, unterstützt von einer lebendigen Säure und einem langen Finish, das auf eine extrem lange Lebensdauer hindeutet. 71% der Gesamtproduktion entfällt auf diesen Wein, und es wird angemerkt, dass dies das trockenste Jahr bei Cheval Blanc seit 50 Jahren war. Eine potenzielle 100-Punkte-Bewertung wird in Erwägung gezogen, nachdem der Wein in Flaschen verkostet wurde.  

 
Jane Anson bewertet den  wie folgt:100 Punkte Jane Anson beschreibt den Château Cheval Blanc 2020 als intensiv, unvergesslich, mit Schicht um Schicht von Heidelbeere, Himbeere, Granatapfel, Fenchel, Lakritze, Wachsmalstift, Espresso, zerdrückten Steinen - einfach so viel Charakter und Haltung. Sie hebt hervor, dass es das trockenste Jahr bei Cheval Blanc seit 1959 war, mit 71% der Produktion aus dem 39 Hektar großen Weingut in diesem Wein, geleitet von dem technischen Direktor Pierre Olivier Clouet. Dies ist das erste Jahr, in dem der Wein nicht mehr mit dem Label Premier Grand Cru Classé A versehen wird, seit die Klassifizierung begann, nachdem er aus der Liste gestrichen wurde. Das ist sicherlich eine interessante Randnotiz für Sammler, aber es macht überhaupt keinen Unterschied zur Brillanz dessen, was sich im Flascheninneren verbirgt.

 BIO 
99 Suckling Punkte für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxJames Suckling über den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
11 Nov, 2021 – So much sweet tobacco, stone, brambleberry and currant on the nose. The palate is full and compact with very polished tannins, yet they are solid and sturdy and run the length and width of the wine. Energetic acidity. Very structured and powerful, yet agile and impressive. Historic feel. From biodynamically grown grapes. This needs at least six years of bottle age to soften. Try after 2027.
 
98 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxAntonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
The 2019 Palmer is a truly special wine, but it is also going to need a number of years to be at its finest. Dense and plush, with explosive energy, the 2019 possesses tremendous richness in its dark fruit. As always, the blend features a high percentage of Merlot (43%) which works so well in complementing the savoriness of the Cabernet. Thomas Duroux and his team fashioned another absolutely compelling Palmer in 2019.
 
97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxUnd Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
The 2019 Palmer was always going to be stylistically a completely different kettle of fish than the preceding vintage. It was bottled in early August 2021. As winemaker Thomas Duroux foretold, it’s a much more classically styled Palmer, offering blackberry, briary and pressed iris petals scents rather than violet, along with a distinct marine influence; a touch of sea spray comes through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, tightly knit on the entry, and very fresh and saline, with just a very slight bitter edginess toward the almost Côte de Nuits–like finish (especially returning to my glass after 20 minutes). Quintessential Palmer, this will require 4–6 years in bottle.
 
96+ Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxWilliam Kelley im April 2022:
The 2019 Palmer is a rich, dramatic wine that soars from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries and berry fruit liqueur mingled with notions of violets, rose petals and sweet spices. Full-bodied, layered and seamless, it's powerful and immensely concentrated, with an enveloping core of lively fruit that largely conceals the wine's ripe, powdery structuring tannins. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, it's a brilliant rendition of the contemporary Palmer style from Thomas Duroux and his team.
 
94 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxFür den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth denChateau Palmer 2019 Margaux:
Shows the powerful fruit of the vintage, with waves of dark plum, warmed cassis and cherry compote flavors driving through, inlaid with a graphite edge and backed by an iron note on the finish. Features good underlying energy and everything is knit tightly, without the toothy grain typical of the vintage. Very solid. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038.
 
98 Punkte vom Falstaff für den Chateau Palmer 2019 MargauxDer Chateau Palmer 2019 Margaux am Gaumen der Falstaff-Verköstiger:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Brombeeren und schwarze Kirschen, ein Hauch von Edelholz und Nougat, feiner nussiger Touch, kandierte Orangenzesten, etwas Lakritze, zart nach Marzipan. Kraftvoll, komplex, engmaschig, schwarze Waldbeeren, finessenreiche Struktur, tragende Tannine, würzig im Abgang, dunkle Frucht im Abgang, sehr gut Länge, wirkt insgesamt noch sehr unentwickelt und zurückhaltend, dezente Süße im Nachhall, ein Vin de Garde, ein Langstreckenläufer, der noch Geduld einfordert.

97+ Punkte vom Wine Advocate für denLisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85, an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the gate with bold scents of baked plums, ripe blackcurrants and wild blueberries, followed by hints of cedar chest, pencil lead, bouquet garni and charcuterie, plus a waft of lilacs. The medium-bodied palate is beautifully crafted with its seamless freshness and firm, grainy tannins supporting the compelling, finely knit black fruits and savory nuances, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note. This will need a good 5 years to come around and should easily cellar for another 30 years or more.

The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande dazzles from the very first taste. A heady concoction of inky dark fruit, graphite, new leather, licorice, lavender, spice and grilled herbs soars out of the glass. The 2018 is rich and expansive yet retains a super-classic vertical feel. Plush, silky tannins add to its immeasurable pedigree. I would cellar the 2018 for a decade or so, if patience permits. It's a stellar wine in the making.

98 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Peter Michael 2018Jeb Dunnuck im November 2020:

The 2018 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse De Lalande is a monster of a wine with an almost Château Latour-like stature and structure, offering deep, backward, slightly reductive notes of blackcurrants, crushed stone, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and tobacco leaf. Based largely on Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, it's full-bodied, concentrated, and powerful on the palate, with masses of tannins, beautiful mid-palate density, and a great finish. As I've commented previously, the up-front, sexy style of the past (due to the larger Merlot content, I believe) has been replaced by a more regal, at times austere profile. Nevertheless, it's still its own wine and very Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande in style. This 2018 is going to need 5-7 years of bottle age and will evolve for 40+ years.

Die rare Perle der Domaine du Pegau

Denn mit dem  Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020 wurde erst die achte Ausgabe seit dem Erstlingswerk 1998 vinifiziert und abgefüllt.

Jeb Dunnuck gibt im November 2022 95-97 Punkte für diesen, wie er schreibt, "zweifellos großartigen" Châteauneuf du Pape: "Viele reife schwarze Früchte, geröstete Garrigue, Wildfleisch und Blumen bestimmen die Aromatik, und am Gaumen ist er mittel bis vollmundig, mit viel Tiefe in der Mitte des Gaumens, einem konzentrierten, eleganteren Mundgefühl und sich aufbauenden Tanninen."
 
 
96-98 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020Joe Czerwinski notiert im Mai 2022 zum Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020:

Based on this showing, I couldn't definitely say that the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée da Capo will turn out better than the hugely impressive Cuvée Réservée. Lavender, bay leaf and purple raspberries stand out on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and elegant. It's perhaps slightly more concentrated, with more tannic grip on the finish and a firmer structure. One for the cellar.
 
98-99 Sucklingpunkte für den Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Da Capo Chateauneuf du Pape 2020Für James Suckling ist der Domaine du Pegau Cuvee Reservee Chateauneuf du Pape 2020 "unwiderstehlich" (April 2022):

Incredibly complex leather and forest-floor character, as well as great wild-blackberry fruit, make this enormously concentrated and powerful Chateauneuf du Pape irresistible. So graceful and silky at the super-long finish. With every swirl of the glass, the aromas expand!
