Lea & Sandeman review
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Fabulous nose, very oaky, rich and velvety, creamy fruit texture. Very fine tannins, intense concentration of well-delineated juicy black fruit. Compact and tannic, it will be a long keeper, but this is my kind of wine. 92/100Other reviews and comments
Lots of raspberry and blackberry character, with mineral undertones. Full-bodied and chewy, with slightly sharp tannins, but an interesting style.
85-88/100
James Suckling, The Wine Spectator
Dark purple. Very opulent and velvety on the nose. Then quite lively and kicks up its heels but there is not the density that there has been in some other recent vintages. Sandy tannins on the finish. Some slightly green notes on the end. Quite sophisticated texture but it can't mask what is missing - flesh. A Vauthier wine (Ausone stable). 2012-19

This is one of the best MSG's that I have tasted. A ripe, opulent nose with a lot of vanillary new oak at this stage. But there is ample fruit concentration to support it, a fine tannic structure and a lush, rounded, succulent mid-palate. Black cherries, violets and blueberry on the sappy finish. A great wine for those who cannot afford Ausone!

Oak a little present but lovely fruit extract. Real fruit intensity on the palate, plenty of extract with length and freshness on the finish. 2015-20.

Bright red-ruby. Vibrant nose offers blackberry, licorice, mint and minerals. Juicy, penetrating dark berry and crushed rock flavors lifted by violet. Pure and sweet, with firm acids and calcaire energy contributing grip and clarity. The tannins are firm but not hard. An excellent, ageworthy vintage for this Alain Vauthier property, which faces his Chateau Ausone.
