| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deze sensationele proefervaring steekt van wal met een magische neus. Het intens rode fruit is rijp en gul: zwarte kersjes rijzen uit het glas en worden aangeleverd door een soepele tanninestructuur in sappig evenwicht. De voornaamste eigenschap van deze grandioze La Gaffelière is focus. De charmerende fruitigheid bewijst de stelling: goede wijn maakt je met goede druiven. Verfijning ontplooit zich in een brede smaakervaring en fenomenale lengte, onder het welziend oog van onwezenlijk mooie, florale aroma's, stralend rood fruit en minéralité. Als u wil zien wat 2019 wel kon geven, proef dan deze La Gaffelière. La Gaffelière is voor ons de beste ooit. Neal Martin treedt bij en vergelijkt bovendien met 1961. IN DE PERS 96 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 La Gaffelière has a wonderful bouquet of mineral-rich black and red fruit and sous-bois, a little tobacco and pencil box emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and ripe. Perfectly balanced, leading to an almost Left Bank, graphite-tinged finish courtesy of the 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 continues the purple patch of this Saint-Émilion stalwart. No doubt a wine that will give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure. Drink 2025-2060. 95-97 Neal Martin – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 La Gaffelière is a distinctive Saint-Émilion, which should be inferred positively. There is something atypically very tertiary about the nose, beautifully defined and focused with plenty of fruit, yet very complex and cerebral. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and wonderful harmony. The silky texture belies the structure underneath and the finish is extraordinarily long. Ancient vintages of La Gaffelière like the 1961 are legendary. This ranks alongside them - the best I have ever tasted. Magnificent. Drink 2025-2060. 96 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Februari 2022) The 2019 La Gaffelière is just as impressive as it was en primeur. Bright and tightly wound, La Gaffelière sizzles with energy. Dark red fruit, mocha, blood orange, mint and dried flowers lend striking aromatic presence. There is some youthful austerity here, but nothing time in bottle won't take care of. The 2019 doesn't quite match the stratospheric grandeur of the magical 2018, but it comes close. Drink 2029-2059. 94-96 Antonio Galloni – vinous.com (Juni 2020) The 2019 La Gaffelière is deep, vivid and beautifully layered in the glass. Dark fruit, espresso, mint, lavender and mocha build as the 2019 opens up in the glass. Deep and fleshy, yet also light on its feet, it has a sense of translucence that carries through all the way to the finish. This is a stunning, riveting wine in every way. The Grand Vin is sourced from the core holdings comprised of about eleven hectares of vineyard. Tasted two times. 95 William Kelley - robertparker.com (April 2022) The 2019 La Gaffelière wafts from the glass with a rich bouquet of blackberries and cherries mingled with subtle hints of burning embers and loamy soil that's framed by a deft application of creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's a concentrated, vibrant wine built around bright acids and fine, powdery tannins. Its vivid fruit tones and classical balance make this Cabernet Franc-rich blend a promising candidate for sustained bottle age. Anyone who has tasted the great wines this estate produced in the 1950s and 1960s knows how great this site can be; and with stricter selection as well as the elimination of fruit from vines growing on the plain from the blend, that potential appears to be being unleashed at last. Drink 2027-2057. 95-97 Lisa Perrotti-Brown – robertparker.com (Juni 2020) Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 La Gaffeliere reveals a tantalizingly bright, fresh nose of ripe black plums, crushed blackberries and warm black cherries with touches of lavender, star anise, Sichuan pepper and fragrant earth. The vibrant black fruits completely fill the medium to full-bodied palate with loads of crunchy, energetic flavors, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a lively line of freshness, finishing with a mineral twist. Irresistibly scrumptious! 95 Jane Anson – decanter.com (Juni 2020) An estate with a gathering sense of excitement around it, and once again proves why with the 2019. Sleek and flavourful, with the insistent tug of limestone slowing things down and allowing the juice and the tension to really inform the palate. Creamy texture also, with blueberry and raspberry fruit played gently against tobacco and crushed stone minerality. Highly successful. Drink 2028-2044. 16,5-/20 James Lawther MW – jancisrobinson.com (Juni 2020) Reticent but refined. Gentle berry-fruit notes with a juiciness to the fruit. Fine but firm tannins. Not overly expressive but harmonious and fresh. Drink 2027-2040.
