  "Sattes Purpur. Intensives Pflaumenbouquet, Brombeergelee und dunkle Edelhölzer. Am molligen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und fein nerviger Rasse, engmaschig am durchtrainierten Körper. Im gebündelten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, endet mit mehligem Extrakt. Potenzialwertung."

  "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Dunkle Beeren, reife Herzkirschen, zart nach Lakritze, zart nach Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett, Edelholz im Hintergrund. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, reife, integrierte Tannine, bleibt lange haften, bereits zugänglich, aber mit sicherem Entwicklungspotenzial ausgestattet."

  "This has aromas of blackberries, toasted bark, pine cones and spice box. It’s medium-bodied with firm, tight tannins. Some citrus peel on the structured and chewy finish. Better after 2024."

  "This estate continues to make outstanding wines, and their 2019 Château Rol Valentin sports a deep ruby/plum color to go with beautiful notes of red plums, darker cherries, Asian spices, graphite, and dried herbs. Medium-bodied on the palate, it's beautifully balanced, has good mid-palate density, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Beautifully done, it should have 15+ years of prime drinking."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Loads of fresh picked flowers, perfectly ripe, red and black cherries, fresh herbs and tints of cocoa are all over the place here, on the nose and palate. Blending silky-textures, freshness, and layers of elegant, red fruits with nuances of cocoa, licorice and spice in the background, this is going to be just great with a year or two of cellaring. Drink from 2024-2036."

  Decanter
  "Bold, powerful nose. Succulent and gripping but soft at the same time on the palate. This is intense but has a nice floral delicacy to it as well. Fragranced and fruity. Not massively complex but this is appealing with iron and wet-stone minerality at the end. Close to Valandraud, bottom of the hill near Fleur Cardinale."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "The wine from this small property on the plateau of Saint-Emilion has structure, fine tannins and ripe black fruits. It has juiciness allied to weight. This combination demands some time. Drink from 2026."

  The Wine Advocate
  "From holdings situated on iron-rich clay soils next to Valandraud and supplemented by Malbec from a parcel near Figeac, the 2019 Rol Valentin offers up generous aromas of cassis, berry preserves, loamy soil, spices and espresso roast. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it's a lively, youthfully firm wine in a more muscular, extracted style."
