The blue fruits and flowers with some dark chocolate come through clearly. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins that are integrated and long. Savory finish. Needs three or four years to soften. Drink after 2026.

Vinous, February 2023

The 2020 Plince is a powerful, burly wine. It offers up copious blue/black fruit, cloves, gravel, lavender and licorice. Readers should expect a bold Pomerol that is more power than finesse. Even so, it's hard not to like...

The 2020 Plince Bordeaux Blend from Pomerol, France, is a noteworthy red wine that has garnered positive attention from several esteemed wine critics. This vintage presents a complex profile, characterized by a mix of red and black fruits, floral notes, and earthy undertones.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com awarded the wine a score of 92, praising its "vibrancy and freshness" along with "soft, silky tannins" that enhance the ripe berry texture. He describes the finish as a savory combination of sweet red berries with hints of olives and herbs.

Vinous, through Antonio Galloni, rated the wine a 91, noting its "powerful, burly" nature. Galloni highlights the "copious blue/black fruit, cloves, gravel, lavender, and licorice," while acknowledging the wine's boldness over finesse. He suggests that a few years of aging may soften the imposing tannins.

Decanter's review, with a score of 90, appreciates the "gorgeous perfumed" nose and "charming and seductive" character. However, they mention a "metallic tang" and a "savoury edge" that slightly overpower the fruit profile at present.

James Suckling gave an excellent score of 94, emphasizing the clear presence of "blue fruits and flowers with some dark chocolate." He points out the wine’s "firm tannins" and recommends drinking it after 2026, once it has had time to soften.

Meanwhile, Jeb Dunnuck and William Kelley from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate both rated it 90, with Dunnuck noting the wine's balance and concentration, while Kelley highlights its approachable nature with aromas of "jammy cherries, berries, rose petals, and pencil shavings."

Overall, the 2020 Plince is a wine of depth and character, offering a blend of fruit, floral, and savory elements that promise to evolve well with time.
