Anmeldelser af Clos Lunelles Castillon-Cotes de Bordeaux 2020

94-96/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
"Opaque in color, the wine explodes with notes of flowers, licorice, blackberry, crushed rocks, plum liqueur and espresso. Thick, rich, lusciously textured and intense, the salinity from the deep limestone terroir shines through right from the start through to the opulent, velvety finish. This is the equal of many of the best Saint-Emilion terroirs. But it needs time to come together, so please wait at least 7 or more years before pulling a cork. The wine was made from blending 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc."

"Lots of chalk, dark-fruit, bark and mushroom character. Violets, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, juicy tannins and a fresh finish."

92-94/100 Robert Parker
"The 2020 Clos Lunelles is composed of 80% Merlot, coming in with an alcohol of 14.79% and a pH of 3.65. It is being aged in French oak barriques, 50% new. Deep purple-black colored, it springs from the glass with vibrant notes of crushed black cherries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of wild blueberries, chocolate box and cardamom with a touch of violets. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of crunchy, energetic black and red fruits, supported by fine-grained tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and lifted."

92-94/100 Falstaff
“Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate brightening of the edges, tobacco-spicy nuances of blueberries and black cherries, fine notes of precious wood. Complex, firm, dark berries, integrated tannins, fresh, mineral, will benefit from bottle aging.”
