Awards | "Pretty nose of chocolate, nutmeg, dark berries, orange zest and praline. It’s full-bodied, firm and textured, with firm and broad tannins. Lots packed in, with seductive sweet-spice character to the dark fruit. 54% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 7% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. Try after 2025." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The 2020 Le Crock is dense, rich and super-concentrated. It’s a style that works so well for this wine. Ripe red plum, tobacco, cedar, mint, dried herbs, blood orange and white pepper all run through this gorgeous, wonderfully inviting Saint-Estèphe. Savory and earthy notes frame the finish very nicely. The 2020 is an absolute delight." - Vinous "Solid, with a plump core of dark plum and boysenberry notes lined with singed vanilla and violet. The finish is underscored by a subtle chalky mineral note. Approachable now. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033." - Wine Spectator "This big, smoky wine is well crafted and concentrated, with rich tannins and a dense structure. The black fruits and juicy character are sustained by the intensity of the tannins. Drink this wine from 2027." - Wine Enthusiast "Beautiful texture, smooth yet grippy with tannins that have a grainy element to them as well as supporting the ripe black fruit. Feels restrained in that they haven't pushed too far, it has a sense of grace while still being powerful and concentrated. I love the acidity and energy to this, it's stylish and charming while still being reserved. Tannins do have the final say, coating the mouth with a pleasant chalkiness, suggesting this needs a few years before it settles and fully opens, but lovely promise here." - Decanter |
