  Weinwisser
  Sehr tiefes Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und zartem lila Rand. Dicht verwobenes Bouquet mit Wildkirsche, edler Cassiswürze und dunklem Edelholz, dahinter Brasiltabak, Schokotrüffel und zarte Fliedernoten. Am sublimen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, mehliges Extrakt, balancierte Rasse und durchtrainierter Körper, besticht durch tiefgründige Finesse. Im konzentrierten nicht enden wollenden Finale mit schwarzbeerige Konturen, tiefgründiger Mineralik und erhabener Adstringenz, eine beruhigende St. Emilion-Delikatesse, die es sich lohnt zu suchen."

  Wine Spectator
  There is a lot to like here, from the lush display of steeped plum, blackberry and black currant fruit to the velvety structure coursing underneath, all while espresso crema, tobacco and warm earth notes fill in the finish. Shows the heat of the vintage, so think more near- to mid-term drinking. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2035."

  The Wine Advocate
  Bursting with aromas of sweet blackberries, cherries, licorice and spices, the 2020 L'If is medium to full-bodied, bright and youthfully structured, with a pretty core of fruit, chalky tannins and a mouthwatering finish. In recent years, this property has begun to find an identity of its own, the bulk of whose holdings lie next to Troplong-Mondot, a property the Thienpont family owned for a decade in the 20th century."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  Flowers, black, red and blue fruits, licorice, chocolate and espresso notes pop with little effort in the nose. On the palate is where the wine truly sings with its multiple-layers of sensuous, opulent, rich, black and red fruits, silky tannins, citrus and dark cocoa nuances. The over 50 second finish, with its endnotes of sweet, dark red, pit fruits, savory herbs, salt and spiced chocolate gets you wanting to go back for more. Drink from 2025-2045"

  Rich and ripe with damson and dark-fruit notes. Full and broad across the palate but backed and driven by very fine tannins. Texturally smooth, the chalky freshness and point of acidity on the finish pulling it all together."
