  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Purity with silky tannins and incredibly sweet, ripe, dark, red fruits to begin, you'll find licorice and just a hint of dark chocolate on the back end. This wine has concentration and energy and gives us insight into the kind of wine that can be realized in the Cotes de Bordeaux."

  "Moving to the red and made from 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Château D'Aiguilhe is also brilliant and well worth seeking out. Sporting a vibrant ruby/purple color as well as gorgeous notes of black raspberries and blue fruits, violates, bouquet garni, and spring flowers, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, bright acidity, and firm tannin, all of which give it a masculine feel, despite having plenty of upfront fruit. This is a beautiful Côtes de Castillon that will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for a decade or more."

  "Zart floral unterlegtes dunkles Beerenkonfit, ein Hauch von Lakritze, zart nach Mandarinenzesten. Kraftvoll, gute Würze, rotbeeriger Touch, präsente Tannine, rotes Waldbeerkonfit im Abgang, mineralisch, vielseitig einsetzbar."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "This balanced wine shows fine potential. Its structure dominates at the moment, with solid tannins, but the rich black fruit is all there. Let it develop over the next several years and drink from 2021."

  Wine Spectator
  " A swath of toasty, singed vanilla starts off, quickly backed by waves of currant and plum preserves. As the flavors knit, a graphite spine emerges and drives the anise- and apple wood–tinged finish. Let this settle in with a little cellaring. Very solid. Best from 2020 through 2027. 18,400 cases made."

  Weinwisser
  "Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Deutlich mineralisch, fast nur schwarzbeerig, zeigt sogar gewisse Rauchkonturen, dahinter getrocknete Heidelbeeren. Mir schien er noch nie so tiefgründig. Im Gaumen mit einer gewissen muskulösen Strenge, die kommt aber von seiner beeindruckenden Konzentration; massive Tannine, die nicht nur in der Jugend Spass bereiten, dafür hat er aber eine markante Reserve. In 10 Jahren ein überaus spannender Castillon."

  Decanter
  "Ripe, fragrant aromatics. Power but opulence and finesse as well. Fine, fresh grain of tannin and a persistent finish. One of the best yet from this Von Neipperg-owned (Canon-la-Gaffelière) estate. Drinking Window 2021 - 2030"
