97 points Tim Atkin, MW (Jan 2018).
97 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Fine rich purple, very sensual, with an impressive wealth of fruit surging through on the nose and some attractive white pepper notes. There is a slight reduction from the stems but it is not ingrained. More importantly, there is a sublime concentration of dark raspberries with a strong infusion of white pepper. This will be an immense pleasure in years to come. Tasted: September 2019."
94-97 points Fine Wine Review: "Always a star, the Clos de la Roche has mineral red fruits, especially red currants, and characteristic energy and tension. (1/3/18)"
93-96 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(the estate made a full crop of 40 hectoliters per hectare, as there was no frost here): Full, dark red. Captivating aromas of raspberry, strawberry, spices, flowers and sweet new oak. Juicy, intense and aromatic on the palate--youthfully imploded in a positive way. Projects compelling energy and subtle sweetness to its red berry and spice flavors. Finishes very long and tight, with an exhilarating wild berry element. A knockout sharply delineated Clos de la Roche that offers terrific intensity without any sense of weight. (Jan 2018)"
95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2016 Clos de la Roche from the Seysses family was really singing at the time of my visit. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a refined blend of red plums, cherries, gamebird, a touch of fresh nutmeg, superb soil tones and a deft base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very elegant out of the blocks this year, with a sappy core of fruit, outstanding backend soil signature, ripe, suave tannins and a long, complex and tangy finish. I love the balance and breed this exudes this year. 2030-2075. (Nov/Dec 2017)"
93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "A restrained and almost mute nose only grudgingly displays its blend of various red berries, herbal tea, spice and pretty floral and sandalwood wisps. There is terrific intensity to the sleek and beautifully delineated flavors that possess evident power if perhaps not the density I'm otherwise used to seeing on the stony, deep and long finish. The supporting tannins are both ripe and firm and this relatively elegant beauty is going to require moderately extended cellaring. Drink: 2031+. (Jan 2019)"
