2012 Chateau Providence - Pomerol AC

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 92pts - RP: *Dense ruby/purple with fleshy black cherry and black currant fruit, some licorice and incense, this opulent, medium to full-bodied wine displays terrific purity, a subtle dosage of background oak, and earth. Maybe even a hint of truffle can be found in this complex, high-class Pomerol to drink over the next 20 years. This is a beauty and another great example of what heights Pomerol achieved in this vintage.* - 04/2015

Vinum Magazin – 16/20pts: *Geschmeidig, frisch, mit der nötigen Kernigkeit, bekömmlich trotz des spürbaren Alkohols.*

WeinWisser – 18/20pts: *Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Süsses Bouquet, kandierte Früchte, Agrumenschalen, ein zarter Rosinenhauch und kalter Früchtetee. Im Gaumen wirkt der Wein leicht, dafür zeigt sich so richtig der Saft, sehr lang mit einem berauschenden reifen Beerenfinale. Hier wird sich mit der Flaschenreife noch eine Prise Erotik einmischen.* - 05/2013

JancisRobinson.com – 17/20pts – JH: *Deep dark cherry colour. Less immediately aromatic than some. Savoury and juicy and delicious. Refined and velvety and long. Much more voluptuous than most Moueix wines so far tasted.* - 04/2013

JamesSuckling.com - 93pts - JS: *Dense and rich red for the vintage with plums, dried strawberries, dark chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, layered and displaying a caressing mouthfeel. Flavorful and intense finish. Savory and minerally.* -02/2015

Vinous.com - 89-91pts - ID: *Dark ruby. Musky aromas of black fruits, red cherry and spicy potpourri. Silky on entry, then rich, dense and ripe in the middle, with sneaky intensity to the slightly tarry flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and quinine. The tarry element carries through on the long, firmly tannic finish, along with a trace of heat, but this rather powerful wine also has considerable finesse.* -05/2013
