Alles über Château d’Aiguilhe DAiguilhe 2020 0.75 L Flasche 2020

- 94 Punkte JANE ANSON: Heavy clay soils before you hit limestone here, and the wine delivers unusual levels of sappy, pummice stone, juicy austerity for the vintage. Almost a granite edge to the tannins, floral aromatic intensity, bring blue and red fruits, and subtle spices of dill, sage and saffran. Excellent quality and value. 35hlh yield, 30 new oak.
- 93 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: Violet reflections, great clarity of colour and immediate whoosh of salinity through the redcurrant fruits. Powerful and focused with bright berry flavours, it practically defines the term crunchy fruit, then softens to show creamier black cherry purée as it relaxes in the glass. Really a very tasty d'Aiguilhe from Vignobles Comtes von Neipperg. Extremely moreish. Harvest September 17 28, 30 new oak.
- 93 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: From the up-and-coming Castillon region, just east of Saint-Emilion, the 2020 Château D'Aiguilhe has a floral, cassis, and black raspberry-driven style that shows more tobacco and classic limestone minerality with time in the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, has fine tannins, and the balance and class to evolve for 10-15 years. It's a seriously good Castillon, even better than the brilliant 2019.
- 92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, William Kelley: Aromas of cassis, dark berries and cherries mingle with subtle hints of incense and spices in an inviting bouquet to introduce the 2020 d'Aiguilhe, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered wine with powdery tannins and the lively acids that are typical of this later-ripening, limestone-rich sector. Always a notable value, this age-worthy cuvée has turned out very well this year.
- 92 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, James Molesworth: Nicely rendered, with a very pure beam of cassis and cherry puree leading the way, infused gently with violet and savory accents. The fresh, focused finish is sneaky long. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2034. 20,000 cases made.
- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: Black cherry, black berry and orange peel with some cedar aromas, follow through to a medium body with fine and chalky tannins. Dried herb and bark undertones. Some salt, too. Drink or hold.
- 18 Punkte WEINWISSER: Bouquet nach frischgepflückten schwarzen Johannisbeeren, intensives Veilchenparfüm und Holundergelee, dahinter Lakritze und Fliedernoten. Am satten Gaumen mit weicher Textur, körnigem Extrakt und muskulösem Körper. Im Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, Graphit und zarte Adstringenz. Trilogie: Mission completed.
