James Suckling beschreibt den Chateau Pape Clement 2015 wie folgt:

The clarity to this wine is impressive. Wealth of dark-plum and black-fruit essence not to mention orange citrus. Everything is dialed up to the limit here but then dialed in on the palate. Such impressive depth and suave. ripe. fluid tannins that deliver impressive length. Great wine. Such polish. Superb. Try from 2022.

 

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Chateau Pape Clement 2015 im Februar 2018 wie folgt:

One of the stars of the vintage. the 2015 Pape Clément is fabulous. Dark and beautifully resonant. it captures all the natural radiance of the year in the Pape Clément style. Super-ripe black cherry. plum. mocha. chocolate. new leather and spice effortlessly fill out the wine's ample frame. Soft contours and an open-knit. inviting personality are just two of the reasons the Pape Clément is going to be virtually impossible to resist. even in the early going. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. Tasted two times.

20 / 20 Punkte  Rene Gabriel beschreibt den Chateau Pape Clement 2015 wie folgt:

50 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 47 % Merlot. 2 % Petit Verdot. 1 % Cabernet Franc. Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Extrem dunkelbeerig mit vielen Rauchnuancen. Lakritze. dunklen Edelhölzer. Guinness-Biermalz und Black Currant im ersten Ansatz. Nach ein paar Minuten kommt eine feine Zimtnuance zum Tragen. Heidelbeerenmark und Tahiti-Vanilleschote. Das Aromenpaket ist in sich gekehrt und bleibt noch etwas im Innern obwohl der Wein gleichfalls auch verschwenderische Ansätze zeigt. Ausgeglichene. royale Adstringenz aufweisend. cremiges Extrakt mit massiver. aber nicht überladener Konzentration. bleibt blaubeerig und hat in sich eine nicht erklärbare Faszination. Trotz der absolut modernen Vinifikation bleibt er irgendwie klassisch. Nach dem Spucken blieb er minutenlang im Gaumen zurück. Und mir blieb dabei förmlich die Spucke weg. Das war mein grösster Pape-Clément als Jungweinprobe. Fünf Mal verkostet. Er ist momentan der beste Pessac-Léognan. Mit der Gefahr. dass ihn Haut-Brion oder Mission einmal ein- möglicherweise überholen werden. Aber vor 20 Jahren wird dies nicht der Fall sein!
 

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau La Mission Haut Brion rouge 2015 am 02.02.2018 wie folgt:

Rose petals. sandalwood and currants with some plums and fruit tea. Full-bodied. tight and focused. Incredibly straight and minerally. Toned muscles here. Tannic. Traditional and unwavering. Try in 2024.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den La Mission Haut Brion 2015 am 21.02.2018 wie folgt:

The deep garnet-purple colored 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 58% Merlot. 7% Cabernet Franc and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Youthfully mute with bright. youthful red currants. black raspberries. cassis and freshly crushed blackberries notions. it slowly unfurls to reveal an earthy/minerally undercurrent of damp soil. charcoal. iron ore and truffles plus a waft of violets. Medium to full-bodied. decadently fruited and yet wonderfully elegant with very ripe. very silky tannins. freshness that sits well in the background and an almost electric intensity of vibrant red and black fruit flavors. it finishes long and minerally. Just. Beautiful. Consider giving it 6-7 years in bottle before broaching and drink it over the next 30+.
 

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 La Parde Haut-Bailly is gorgeous. supple and wonderfully inviting. Even so. there is quite a bit of supporting structure that gives the wine its energy and overall shape. Smoke. tobacco. cedar. licorice and leather add aromatic nuance. but it is the wine's textural depth that stands out most. La Parde is a second wine that overdelivers. big time.

 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

The medium garnet-purple colored 2016 La Parde de Haut-Bailly comes bursting out of the glass with cassis. redcurrant jelly. fragrant earth and dried Provence herbs scents plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied. firm. grainy textured and packed with fruit. it delivers a long and mineral-laced finish.

 

James Suckling Januar 2019:

A firm and velvety red with berry and tobacco character and hints of walnuts. Medium body. round and juicy tannins and a medium finish. A blend of 47 per cent merlot. 47 per cent cabernet sauvignon and six per cent cabernet franc. Second wine of Château Haut-Bailly. Try after 2021.

James Suckling bewertet den Esprit de Chevalier im Januar 2021 wie folgt:

This is an extremely polished and refined young wine with gorgeous blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, dark-chocolate and bark character. It’s full-bodied with ever so fine tannins and a long, long finish. Fantastic second wine of Domaine de Chevalier. Try after 2026.


 

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Latour-Martillac has come together very nicely during its aging. Black cherry. plum. leather. licorice. spice and chocolate give the 2016 much of its racy. extroverted feel. Deep. dark and quite powerful. the 2016 is showing beautifully today. The oak could use a bit more time to fully come together. but that is a relatively small critique for a wine that delivers so much pleasure.
 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

The 2016 Latour Martillac is medium to deep garnet-purple in color with warm plums. kirsch and redcurrant jelly on the nose with touches of bay leaves. iron ore and black soil. Medium-bodied with a well-sustained mid-palate of muscular fruit. it has a firm backbone of fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness. finishing very long.
 

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

Attractive fennel. grasses. fresh herbs and chamomile with pithy-citrus and wet-chalk notes. The palate delivers a really plush and fleshy array of bright and zesty fruit and has a long. fresh and fleshy resolve. Piercing drive and restrained density here. A blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink or hold.
