Robert Parker (87-90)
Former soccer star Eric Prissette has sold this estate. In three different looks at this wine, two of them left me shaking my head, and only the third one showed some potential. The final blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc topped out at 14.2% natural alcohol, and the yields were very modest at 28 hectoliters per hectare. The brilliant Stephane Derenoncourt oversees the wine. In two tastings, it was herbal and lacking the power, concentration, and intensity one had come to expect under the former administration of Eric Prissette.The other tasting was impressive. Judgment reserved. (Tasted three times, inconsistent notes.)
Score range: 94-97
Licorice and tar, with hints of ripe berry. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and dense tannins. Yet it's all in near-perfect harmony. This has a new owner and it's even better. –JS

Commentaires
Rol Valentin est typique de la nouvelle génération de Saint-Emilion : c'est un vin mûr, à la limite de la surmaturité, moelleux et charmeur.
