2016 Château Les Trois CroixFronsac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/21/2019 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 pointsDeep in color, the wine offers licorice, crushed stone and dark cherries from start to finish. On the palate you also find polished, silky dark, red fruits with more of that crushed rock sensations. This is the best and sadly the penultimate vintage for the owner Patrick Leon, who recently passed away. |

2019 Château Les Trois CroixFronsac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/29/2022 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsSilky-textured, sweet and vibrant, there is a gorgeous sense of purity here to the seductive, dark red pit fruits with their chocolate edge. The finish feels just great due to the soft, polished tannins and all of those sweet, ripe, silky fruits and the touch of salt from the minerality in the endnote. This will drink well young, and it will even better with a few years of age. Drink from 2023-2035. |

4/1/2017 - PanosKakaviatos Likes this wine: NRA bit of density with violet and ripe plum, the tannins are fine enough, with decent acidity that lends juiciness. 87-89 |

1/20/2018 - Jeff Leve wrote: 89 pointsFully mature, or quite close to it, the wine is soft, smooth, easy to drink to drink and like. With its medium body and focus on fresh, ripe black cherries, earth and thyme, this is drinking right now in its sweet spot. |

7/9/2020 - Jeff Leve wrote: 90 pointsAt full-maturity, the wine is earthy, smoky, round, lush, soft and still fresh, with its dark red pit fruits, licorice, cocoa and stony, mid-palate finish. I'd opt for drinking this over the next few years before it starts its gentle decline. |

9/12/2014 - KristianT wrote: 88 pointsDark and intense. Much better than two years ago, but still quite youthful. Opens up with some air. Nice notes of black fruit and cherry. A bit dry on the aftertaste. I will try next bottle in a year or so (or earlier with a good decanting) |

6/8/2020 - Jeff Leve wrote: 92 pointsSeductive, silky, medium-bodied, finesse driven, fresh and fruity, the red berries are clean, pure and feel just great. The tannins are soft, refined and should produce a wine that will drink well young, and even better with a few years of age. 91-93 Pts |

12/18/2013 - RobertDwyer wrote: 86 pointsSo here we are at 8 years in and I've popped the last bottle of this I have. Sadly it's probably less enjoyable now than it was on release. Too many of these affordable 2005 Bordeaux are clogging up my storage space and I've lost patience. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

Nice fruit and earth, currants and tobacco leaves with hints of pepper. Good weight and mouthfeel, not harsh at all. Really delivers for the WTSO price; a stretch at the $25 Wine Searcher price. Style & Quality- B. Value- A-. Overall- B+. |

1/4/2024 - umwbennett Likes this wine: 92 pointsTasted like bloody steak rubbed in french herbs right after opening. That mellowed out after a bit of time to breath in the decanter revealing mushroom, red fruit, and some vegetal notes. I really enjoyed this. One of the most aged wines I've tried. Makes me want more. |

10/29/2022 - dbkitc wrote: 88 points(at Pietro Prime - West Chester) Very satisfying wine. Deeply colored garnet. Dark plum, licorice and a bit of glue on the nose. The palate is more precise with good acidity mixed in with the fullish fruit profile. Lacking complexity and the stuffing to make it special. That said, a full mouthful of Bordeaux for uncritical dinner drinking. (88) |

7/9/2020 - Jeff Leve wrote: 88 pointsMedium-bodied, bright, fresh, stony red berries come alive with a touch of thyme, underbrush, cherry and dark cocoa in the round, soft, polished, crisp finish. This is drinking about as good as it is going to get. |

5/21/2018 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 pointsOwned by Patrick Leon, the wine is medium/full bodied, showing a stony edge to the floral and red berry fruit. Give it a few years to soften, flesh out and gain additional complexities. |

2015 Château Les Trois CroixFronsac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/30/2017 - PanosKakaviatos Likes this wine: 93 pointsGrand Cercle wines: Mainly 2015 just bottled (Chateau de Pressac Saint Emilion): This blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, clocking in at 14.5% alcohol exudes a lovely, fresh limestone driven nose. The palate is rich and zesty even, and the vines grown on the highest hill in Fronsac. Privately owned by the family of Patrick Leon, who had worked at Mouton Rothschild and Almaviva among other estates. Very smooth overall, with a long finish. Great stuff. |

11/12/2017 - RGCM Gananda wrote: 89 pointsBlackberry and an earthy oakiness on the nose. Opened about an hour ahead of time and while it showed good fruit initially, seemed to fall a bit out of balance the longer it was open. Between medium and full bodied (14.5%) with blackberry and black cherry upfront. There's good fruit present through the mid-body, but for now, it's masked by drying, intrusive tannins (even after three hours open). Towards the finish, it starts to come together nicely with a mix of blackfruit and mineral that really works well. Once the tannins settle down, this could become quite enjoyable, especially for an impressive value petite Bordeaux. I'll try my next bottle in 12-18 months and reassess. |
