"Almost a ginger tone to the nose, it's so fresh: chinese spices, raspberry and violets. Super-tannic and youthful, high toned and a little bit austere, coating the mouth with fine but grippy texture. The fruit is rich and there is a nice seductive side to it, perfumed and so deep, it really settles on the mid-palate, giving you so much fragrance and flavour. Juicy and alive, refreshing but with quite a serious core. Greath menthol ending. A lovely Saint Emilion, clearly still a baby that will need to grow over ageing but lovely initial elements and balanced all the way through to a long finish." 17.05.2022

"Blackberries, flowers, cherries, spice, smoke, licorice, and black raspberries get the bouquet going. The palate is fresh, forward, soft, generous and medium-bodied with layers of sweet, ripe, spicy red fruits and a nice bite of savory-edged Cabernet in the polished finish. This will be simply delicious on release." 08.03.2024

The 2021 Le Crock is bright and nicely focused, which is to say: very much in the style of the year. Vibrant acids lift a core of red-toned fruit. Cedar, tobacco, scorched earth and grilled herbs develop in the glass, adding layers of nuance and character. 28.02.2024
