Jane Anson
This wine shows how well Fronsac can do in 2018, and it`s a value pick of the vintage. There`s so much volume through the palate here, it`s extremely juicy with great concentration and an explosion of damson and black cherry fruit, given definition by slate on the finish that speaks of the limestone soils. Truly a brilliant testament to Patrick Leon, as this was his last vintage, but don`t think this score is sentimentality - the wine deserves it. Drink 2022 - 2035. 94 points

Deep purple-black in color, the 2018 Les Trois Croix offers soft-spoken scents of iron ore, crushed rocks and mossy bark over a core of warm plums, baked black cherries and spice cake. Medium to full bodied, it has a solid core of muscular black fruits with a firm, grainy frame and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering mineral note. 91-93+ points
