Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-90)Ruby-red. Sappy red berries and blackberry show a candied, liqueur-like quality. Round, sweet, dense and lush but with well-integrated acids giving the wine good life in the mouth. Then quite closed, even a bit youthfully dry, on the back end. But then this wine still has a bit of malic acidity left to convert. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88)Bright ruby-red. Liqueur-like black cherry, blackberry and minerals on the nose, complicated by a suggestion of Indian spices. Juicy, firm and sweet, with good intensity to the moderately complex flavors of crushed dark berries, fruitcake, bitter chocolate and graphite. This pliant midweight boasts good spine but has also put on flesh since I tasted it in barrel. Finishes with serious, dusty, spreading tannins. |

Wine Spectator (94-97)Features seamlessly layered dark currant, fig and boysenberry fruit, infused liberally with a tobacco note and backed by a long, smoldering finish. Latent energy keeps this going. An impressive young wine. |

James Suckling (94-95)Chewy and rich with dried-mushroom, dark-fruit and burnt-orange character. It’s full-bodied with a dense, tannic palate. Smoky, toasty and coffee undertones here, too. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93-95)This wine seems to always deliver, and I loved the 2020 Clos De L'Oratoire. Lots of black cherries, subtle cassis, notes of lead pencil and violets, medium to full-bodied richness, and a balanced, elegant texture all make for a beautiful Saint-Emilion. It picks up more minerality with time in the glass, and its purity of fruit is top-notch. It will keep for at least two decades. |
