Awards | "Lots of blackcurrants and spices with some dried flowers follow through to a medium body with firm, silky tannins and a bitter-citrus and dark-walnut aftertaste to the fruit. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024." - James Suckling "The 2019 Le Crock is a powerful, burly Saint-Estèphe. A rush of black cherry, scorched earth, licorice, tobacco and menthol makes a strong opening statement. Rich, virile and packed, the 2019 is big, hearty wine that shows the savory personality of Saint-Estèphe. The tannins are a bit coarse, but then again, that is to be expected. There is certainly a lot of wine here." - Vinous "Leads off with sweet bay leaf, tobacco and warm earth hints, which are quickly met by a core of steeped plum and black currant fruit. Shows subtle charcoal dusting and a note of cast iron that add fuel to the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035." - Wine Spectator "A dark and herbal nose, liquorice-dominant with cloves and cinnamon - lots going on. Gorgeous on the palate, bright juicy fruit, firm and mouth filling tannins and tons of acidity lift the overall frame. Strawberry, red cherry and plum fruit is polished and pristine and this offers lots of enjoyment. Lovely personality to this. Drinking Window 2025 - 2039" - Decanter "Owned by the Cuvelier family, proprietors of Léoville-Poyferré, this picturesque Saint-Estèphe estate has produced a fine 2019 Le Crock. Wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries, currants, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with an ample core of succulent fruit underpinned by ripe, powdery tannins." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Tasted blind. Bright fruit. Sweet start but a little lacking in complexity. Very youthful. Quite long – just unformed at present. 14%" - Jancis Robinson |
