Wine Advocate (93)Another brilliant wine from the talented Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet France produced a wine that came in just under 15% natural alcohol. Of course, the vineyard is near Clos Fourtet, and it seems as though a lot of properties in that band of terroir did incredible jobs in 2009. A big, black/purple-colored wine with notes of blackberries, licorice, graphite, truffle and some subtle, toasty oak, the wine is full-bodied and unctuously textured, with loads of glycerin, fruit, and a massive, velvety textured finish. This superb wine should drink well for 15 or more years. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2016 La Confession has a tightly wound bouquet with red and black fruit, a touch of pencil box emanating from the Cabernet Franc. It needed a little encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, quite spicy in the mouth but missing just a little persistence on the finish. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88-91)The 2017 La Confession is endowed with serious depth and unctuousness. Blueberry jam, menthol, licorice, sweet French oak, crème de cassis, spice and new leather are all amped up in this decidedly flamboyant Saint-Émilion. Although not exactly subtle, the 2017 is quite delicious. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89)The 2018 La Confession has an intense nose of black cherry, raspberry coulis and a very slight Wellington boot scent, possibly from a bit of reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, dry tannins. Quite bold and forthright, it has a voluminous finish but comes across just a little raw at the end. A couple of years in bottle will do this no harm, but it takes itself a bit too seriously. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)The 2019 La Confession is bright, floral and nicely lifted. Crushed raspberry, mint, blood orange, spice and mocha give the 2019 its freshness and energy. This soft, fruity Saint-Émilion is a real charmer. Drink it over the next decade or so. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90-92)The 2021 La Confession is bold, racy and explosive. Inky blue/purplish dark fruit, lavender, spice and chocolate are all dialed up. Bright acids come through nicely on the finish, lending considerable energy to balance all of that opulence. |
