Jean-Luc Thunevin Bad Boy 2018 Doppelmagnum 3,0 l

- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "Crushed-blackcurrant, plum, ink, graphite and licorice aromas. Lemon-zest and saline notes, too. It’s medium-bodied with sleek, tight tannins and fresh acidity. Fresh, clean finish. Linear and fine. Better in 2024, but already very attractive.“

- 91 Punkte Andreas Larsson, Tasted: “ Dark purple core and hue. Modern nose with some new oak, toast and spice paired with ripe plum, dark berries and floral hints. Ample palate with good volume, fine grainy tannin, succulent dark fruit flavours with fine spices, a hint of toast, and a long supple finish. Youthful but nice drinkability.“

- 90 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Mauvais Garcon ("bad boy") is a little closed to begin, giving way to notes of freshly crushed black plums, warm blackberries and boysenberries with wafts of tobacco, fallen leaves and garrigue. Full-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick house, it has a solid frame of chewy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and savory."

- 90 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: "Readers looking for a mid-week drinker that has character need look no further than the 2018 Bad Boy from superstar Jean-Luc Thunevin. Deeply colored, with vibrant notes of earthy dark fruits and tobacco, it’s medium to full-bodied, ripe, plush, and sexy, yet also balanced and with notable purity. It’s well worth drinking and should keep for a handful of years."

- 90 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: „Round, lush, fruity, juicy, sweet black cherries, flowers and licorice are in the nose, palate and finish of this forward, ready to drink charmer. You can enjoy this gem on release.“
