94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Another resounding success for the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Clinet (14.4% alcohol) is composed of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare, while higher than in 2010, were still modest. Another powerful, big, large-scaled effort, the 2008 exhibits an inky/purple color as well as sweet creme de cassis, blackberry, plum, Asian spice, licorice and incense notes. Layered and full-bodied with stunning purity and a 40+ second finish, this beauty needs ...Read More »

89 points from Robert Parker… 'Bon Pasteur's 1988 is a sure bet. Deep opaque dark ruby (darker than the 1989), with a huge bouquet of chocolate, plums, currants, and herbs, this full-bodied, admirably extracted wine should prove to have considerable longevity. Anticipated maturity: Now-2008. (Feb 1993)'

90 points Wine Spectator: "Dark in aroma and fleshy in feel, but open-knit overall, with enticing tobacco, fig and mulled black currant fruit carried by a loam hint through the broad finish. (JM, Web Only-2012)"

99 points James Suckling: "So ethereal and great on the nose with glorious fresh flowers, such as violets, together with black olives. Dark berries, too. But the archetypal Pomerol nose. Full-bodied yet, at the same time, so refined and structured. Glorious tannin tension and focus. Vibrant finish. Shows energy and focus. Try after 2024." (02/2019) 98 points Decanter: "For me, this is going to be every bit as great as the 1989, and is a worthy follower to the 2015. It's tight and reserved on the nose, with powerhouse Pomerol Merlot lurking behind. Ther ...Read More »

97 points James Suckling: "Classic Pomerol character of black olives, wet earth, violets and dark fruit. Full-bodied, tight and silky-textured with fabulous texture. Stones and dark berries. So serious and real. The depth is like looking down a well. Give it three to four years to integrated but already beautiful. Try in 2023 and onwards." (02/2018) 96 points Decanter: "Old vine (25 years plus) Cabernet Franc and Merlot on the plateau close to Trotanoy make up the majority of Nenin's grand vin, and here we see that 2015 Pomerols are not just exuberant ...Read More »

99 points James Suckling: "An immaculate wine with pristine blackberries and dark plums as well as fresh, earthy nuances and dark crushed violets. An upright palate with lightly peppery dark berries and plums. The inflection of cabernet here makes for an impressively powerful wine that still exudes Pomerol’s suave, seductive charm. Chalky, seamless tannins. Super fresh. Try from 2022." (12/2018) 98 points Decanter: "An elegant, powerful and accomplished wine in 2015, with finely-knitted tannins and dark fruit which is pushed impercetibly upwards from ...Read More »

98 points Decanter: "This was the first vintage with Marielle Cazeaux as technical director. As with the 2005, this is a wine where you feel everything stepping up a level, and as with the 2009 the fruit profile is dense and seductive, with flatteringly succulent tannins. It's rich and ripe, with striking fresh mint and chargrilled oak on the tight finish that adds a layer of complexity to the fleshy raspberry fruit. This continues the more muscular feel to La Conseillante that we have seen over the past few vintages, but it absolutely delivers the class ...Read More »

94 points James Suckling: "Really beautiful nose with crushed berries and flowers. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows tension and precision. Better than 2015. A blend of 90 per cent merlot and ten per cent cabernet franc. Drink in 2022." (02/2019) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Bonalgue opens with cedar, pencil lead, bay leaves and underbrush with a core of kirsch, warm plums and mulberries plus Sichuan pepper. Medium-bodied, it's savory in mouth with ...Read More »

95 points James Suckling: "The blackberry and dark-plum aromas are very prevalent here. Undertones of lemon rind and hot stones. Medium-to full-bodied, firm and chewy. Linear and focused with a fine line of tannins and acidity running through the center palate. Shows class. A blend of 75 per cent merlot and 25 per cent cabernet franc. Drink in 2022." (02/2019) 94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Clos du Clocher is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and very earthy on the nose with cigar box, forest floor, truffles and charcoal aromas w ...Read More »
