Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2019 Cour d'Argent is just as impressive from bottle as it was en primeur. Succulent dark cherry, mocha, licorice and spice are all kicked up in this racy, supple Bordeaux Supérieur. Pretty floral accents lift the finish. The 2019 is beautifully done. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89-91)The 2020 La Cour d'Argent is a terrific Bordeaux Superieur. Black cherry, chocolate, dried herbs and leather lend striking energy to this flavorful Merlot-based red. Incisive tannins need time to soften, but there is enough sheer density to make me think that all the 2020 requires is patience. This is an impressive effort from Denis Barraud. Tasted two times. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (86-88)The 2021 La Cour d'Argent, cropped at a measly 11hL/ha, has a light, airy nose of blackberry and briar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rigid tannins, but they should soften with barrel maturation. Expect this to drink well for 3–5 years. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2018 Château de la Dauphine was a knockout when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a very clean, precise bouquet of shimmering blackberry and wild strawberry aromas, underlying blood orange notes coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, plenty of graphite-tinged black fruit and a very elegant yet long finish. Superb! |

Jeb Dunnuck (91)The Fronsac appellation produced a bevy of brilliant wines in 2015 and the 2015 Château De La Riviere is a prime example of the quality coming from the appellation. Made from mostly Merlot (there’s some Cabernet Franc and Malbec) aged in one-third new 600-liter barrels, it gives up terrific notes of black cherries, roasted herbs, and spices. Ripe, pure and elegant, yet just packed with fruit, drink this undeniably sexy, opulent 2015 anytime over the coming 10-15 years. |

Inky red fruit, grilled herbs, rose petal, mint, iron, dried herbs and espresso build in a virile, earthy Fronsac that has a lot to offer. I would give the 2018 a year or two in bottle to soften a touch. There's a lot of wine here. |
