96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Clos de l'Oratoire offers ripe black and red fruit layered with tobacco leaf, damp earth, exotic flowers and chocolate. Rich and seamless, the medium- to full-bodied palate shows excellent mid-palate depth, beautifully polished tannins and no hard edges. The finish is long and harmonious, with considerable aging potential.
94 Points - James Suckling
Blackberry, blackcurrant and plum-leaf aromas mingle with violets and bitter chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is built around firm, compact tannins and a dense core of dark fruit. Solid and concentrated, it closes with a persistent, chewy finish.
93 Points - Decanter
Silky berry fruit combines appealing sweetness with freshness and tension. Firm tannins provide definition and structure, while the juicy fruit maintains energy across the palate. Confident, balanced and impressively composed, this is a compelling expression from the Neipperg team. Barrel Sample: 93.
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Sweet wild berries and cherries mingle with loamy earth and raw cocoa on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, the palate offers succulent fruit supported by lively acidity and fine, powdery tannins. The finish is precise and well defined, showing both richness and freshness.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
Steeped red and black currant fruit is layered with tobacco, worn cedar and savory nuances. A warm cast-iron note runs through the finish, adding a slightly rustic character. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it maintains good energy, complexity and range throughout.
