Jean-Claude Boisset Reviews

Score: 92 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Prominent toast lends a smoky cast to the black cherry and black currant flavors in this flamboyant red. A layer of dusty tannins lines the finish. Shows fine intensity and length, with freshness. 

Score: 93 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

A pure, racy red, featuring cherry, strawberry and mineral flavors allied to an elegant profile and a silky texture. Finishes fresh and long. Decant if you must drink now. 

Score: 92 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

A powerful red, whose broad-shouldered frame encompasses black cherry, blackberry, spice and tobacco flavors. Shows plenty of grip on the long finish, yet the tannins are refined and the lasting impression is of sweet fruit and spice.

Score: 92 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Sweet cherry and currant flavors are complemented by sandalwood, anise and olive notes. Silky and vibrant, with refined tannins and a long, lingering aftertaste. 

Score: 95 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Aromas of smoked meat and spice give way to black cherry, earth and stony mineral flavors in this dense, powerful red. The tannins are dominant for now, but there is freshness and a long, complex finish that reveals promise for the future.

Score: 91 | May 31, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Black currant and violet notes are the hallmarks of this dense red, whose tannins build to a chewy finish. The core of sweet fruit will need time to emerge.

Score: 90 | May 1, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Expressive, offering aromas and flavors of cherry, currant, earth, mineral and sweet burning vine cuttings. Features a firm backbone and a chalky feel on the finish.

Score: 96 | March 1, 2017 | Wine Spectator

This is intense, starting out on the elegant side and building slowly to attain greater density and power. Spice, raspberry and cherry flavors form the center, with a layer of chalk and stone underneath. Shows fine concentration and balance, delivering a long, minerally aftertaste.

Score: 90 | March 1, 2017 | Wine Spectator

Clean and focused, showing black cherry, toast and spice aromas and flavors. The tannins are firm and integrated as this cruises to a lingering, spicy aftertaste.
