Chateau Marquis d'Alesme 2019

- 96 Punkte winecellarinsider, Jeff Leve: „Elegant, soft, silky, and sensuous, the wine is rich, ripe and almost over-flowing with waves of polished, sweet, fresh, plums, dark cherries, licorice, 5 spice, espresso bean, and dark chocolate on the backend. Over the past few years, they have really picked up the volume here at Chateau Marquis d'Alesme. For a wine from the Margaux appellation at this level of quality and price, my tip of the day is, buy it! Drink from 2026-2050.“

- 95 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2019 Marquis d’Alesme Becker was very impressive from barrel. Now in bottle, he has retained those engaging aromas of blackberry, raspberry, cedar and a pinch of spice, well defined and quintessentally Margaux. The palate is understated on the entry, smooth and sensual in texture, with gorgeous, very pure red fruit. I ADORE THE HARMONY OF THIS WINE, and the way it sashays toward the finish. Deceptively approachable, this will mature beautiful in bottle. 2025-2050.“

- 94 Punkte JANE ANSON (11/2022): „GREAT QUALITY HERE, powerful but well handled and deftly extracted. Enough plump fruits through the mid palate to keep you smiling, with confident tannins that hold things together, and a sappy, mouthwatering finish. The generosity of the summer comes through in terms of the ripeness of the berry fruits, but this is delicious. Harvest September 26 to October 12.“

- 94 Punkte DECANTER, Georgina Hindle: "Nice welcoming and inviting nose, expressive and generous. Fresh, juicy, supple and bright, this shines quite brightly with good acidity gives things immediate lift then the tannins come in, filling the palate with dense fruit and wet stone flavours. Seriously mouth filling, but in a pleasant way, structured and well rounded. Defined fruit. Tannins just need to settle a little and let the wine expand. 2024-2038."

-94 Punkte Izak Litwar, greatbordeauxwines.com: „57% Cabernet Sauvignon + 37% Merlot + 6% Petit Verdot, 50% new oak, 14% alcohol. Densely aromatic blackcurrants, very spicy, powerful on the palate with creamy berries, strong tannin support, superb depth, and superb finish. EXCELLENT EFFORT, FOR SURE. 94p+.“

- 94 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK (11/2022): „The 2019 Château Marquis D'Alesme is terrific and a good follow-up to the brilliant 2018. Sporting a deep ruby/purple hue, it gives up a great nose of ripe darker cherries, blackberries, mulberries, leafy herbs, cedar pencil, and violets. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied Margaux with a rich, fleshy, expansive mouthfeel, polished tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. I'm not sure it will make terribly old bones, but it shines for its purity of fruit as well as its TERRIFIC OVERALL BALANCE AND PURITY. As I wrote from barrel, it's one of those pretty, elegant wines that still packs rocking levels of fruit! Drink it any time over the coming 15-20 years. 2022-2042.“

- 94 Punkte James Suckling (03/2022): „A perfumed nose of dark cherries, blackberries, mocha, dried flowers, bark, toffee, cedar and baking spices. Medium-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Perfumed and silky with plenty or ripe cherry and sweet spice notes. Framed and layered with a flavorful finish. Drink from 2025.“

- 94 FALSTAFF, Peter Moser (6/2020): „Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Kirschen, zarte Gewürznuancen, ein Hauch von Nougat, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, extraktsüß, mittlerer Körper, reife Tannine, zarter Schokoladetouch, bleibt gut haften, stoffiger Speisenbegleiter, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial, sehr vielversprechend.“

- VINUM Bordeaux Extra: Primeur 2019 (9/2020): "Verführerisch fruchtig; geradliniger Ansatz, gut gebaut, Tannin mit Schmelz und Frische, von idealer Länge; stilvoll, von besonderer Eleganz."
