95 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "This mineral-driven red tastes of slate and stone, with a generous depth of rich red fruit. The cassis and cherry notes are layered and lengthy on the palate, with a hint of caramel and oak that complement it well. (Dec 2021)"
95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Louis Bovet showed beautifully, with a sumptuous, full-bodied, textured style carrying lots of darker currants and blue fruits as well as notes of tobacco, sappy herbs, flowers, and earth. It's already drinking beautifully yet has enough tannins to allow it to evolve for 20 years. Drink: 2021-2041. (Jan 2021)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Delivers a solid and frankly ripe beam of cassis and plum sauce flavors, laced with red licorice and flecked with sassafras, all of which drive along nicely through a racy, structured finish underscored by a streak of iron. Offers excellent length. Best from 2023 through 2039. (Mar 2022)"
94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Louis Bovet is a dark, mysterious wine. Black cherry, plum, tobacco, licorice and chocolate give the 2018 its dark, somber personality. A packed, dense wine, the 2018 has a ton to offer, especially once it softens a bit. Gravel, licorice, cloves, leather and tar add gravitas. The 2018 has gained quite a bit of weight since I tasted it last year. Drink: 2024-2034. (Jan 2022)"
92 points James Suckling: "Aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, dried herbs, mint and cloves. Some walnuts, too. It’s full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Layered and textured with a polished, flavorful finish. Drink or hold. (Nov 2021)"
