James Suckling: 100 Points
"An immaculate wine with pristine blackberries and dark plums as well as fresh earthy nuances and dark crushed violets. An upright palate with lightly peppery dark berries and plums. The inflection of cabernet here makes for an impressively powerful wine that still exudes Pomerol’s suave seductive charm. Chalky seamless tannins. Super fresh. Try from 2022."

"Composed of 55% Merlot 38% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in French oak 55% new for 17 months the 2015 Canon la Gaffeliere features a deep garnet-purple color and a cedar-laced nose to begin giving way to fragrant underlying scents of roses and violets with a core of crushed black currants blackberries and Bing cherries plus hints of fallen leaves and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied the seductively perfumed red and black fruit fills the mouth framed with plush tannins and plenty of freshness finishing very long and minerally."

A dramatic sweeping Pomerol the 2015 Clinet is ample racy and voluptuous from the very first taste. Those qualities are going to make the 2015 nearly impossible to resist young. Readers who can wait will be rewarded with a racy deeply layered Pomerol of the highest level. For now the raciness of the dark red cherry and plum fruit suggests a very bright future. Hints of rose petal mint and licorice add the closing shades of nuance. What a gorgeous wine this is.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Juicy and very fresh with a lovely beam of raspberry and cherry compote notes infused with red licorice and floral hints. Certainly ripe but on the refined side with the purity of fruit singing over a light tug of apple wood through the lengthy finish. This has dropped a darker more hedonistic edge since the barrel tasting. Best from 2020 through 2032. 4400 cases made. –JM
