The 2020 Clos René has developed into a powerful, structured wine, much moreso than it was from barrel. Dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather and licorice are all amplified. This potent, deep Pomerol needs time to soften, that is for sure. There is a lot of wine here.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Beautiful blackberry aromas with some fresh mushroom and forest flower character. Full-bodied with fine tannins that give the wine focus and structure. It’s fresh and vibrant at the end. Very fine structure here. Very typical. Try after 2027. -JamesSuckling.com

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Clos Rene gives up earthy notes of tilled soil, truffles, and iron ore, leading to a core of baked blackberries and plum preserves. The full-bodied palate features impressive energy, with a refreshing line and soft tannins supporting the fruit through the long finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

Black cherries, licorice, flowers and truffle make an appearance in the nose. The wine is medium-bodied, with a lush, polished, silky, fresh palate presence which is perfect for all of its ripe, pure, energetic, red pit fruits and spice. This has really come on strong during its barrel aging. In fact, this is at the level of the older vintages from the 40s and 50s. Drink from 2024-2045.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

I loved the 2020 Clos René from barrel and it showed just as well from bottle, exhibiting a deep ruby/plum hue, notes of smoky red and black fruits, spice, and minty herbs, medium to full body, building tannins, and a great finish. It needs 3-4 years to resolve some tannins but should drink nicely over the following decade or more. It's another brilliant Pomerol in 2020. - Jeb Dunnuck

They love to deliver classically-styled wines from this estate, and this is very clearly a tannic-heavy, big shouldered old school Pomerol with real heart and charm. Expect plenty of blackberry, black cherry and smoked earth, edging towards austere, should be ready to go in three or four years. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Blue fruits, cola and liquorice on the nose. Sharp and quite high-toned initially, a rush of bright red fruits, almost sour - raspberries, red cherries and herbal strawberries and nice floral elements. Detailed and nuanced with well integrated wood though it lacks a little substance and push on the mid-palate. Mouthwatering and has nice energy, but just lacks a little spark. - Georgine Hindle, Decanter

The 2020 Clos René exhibits aromas of sweet cherries and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and charming palate. It's a gourmand, expressive Pomerol that will drink well young.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Dark fruit with spicy, peppery notes (see all that Malbec). Sweet-fruited on the palate, the tannins firm and assertive. Slightly chewy finish. Needs to settle but has substance.-James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson
