Scores

The 2009 Le Crock is the finest wine I have tasted from this vineyard owned by the Cuvelier family (who also own Leoville Poyferre). A picture postcard chateau sandwiched between Cos d¿Estournel and Montrose, it is good to see this under-performing St.-Estephe finally producing better wines. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2009 displays an inky/purple color in addition to an opulent nose of black and blue fruits intermixed with licorice, crushed rocks, and flowers. Fat, plush, and fleshy, with terrific fruit purity and a long, layered finish, this sleeper of the vintage can be enjoyed over the next 15+ years. (Tasted two times.) 90-92* Robert Parker

Tasting Notes

Rich black cherry fruit on the nose with a high floral tone, this is fleshy and full bodied, with admirable depth. The fruit is simple, forward and expressive, textures are welcoming and the finish is fresh. Well done to the Poyferré team. Drink 2015-2025 15.5
