Aromas of currants, walnuts and blackberries follow through to a full-bodied palate with fine, chewy tannins and a linear finish. Shows polish and beautiful length. Lovely second wine. Try after 2025.
 
93 Wine Enthusiast
One of the two second wines from this estate, this is dominated by Merlot, giving a rounded, jammy character that is comfortably filled out with generous tannins. With chocolate and spice flavors, the wine is developing well. Drink from 2025.
 
91 Decanter
This is smooth and lined with pleasure. Still tight and pretty austere - the Pauillac tannins are out in full - but there is appeal and interest to the construction of this wine. Drinking Window 2023 - 2036
 
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Les Tourelles de Longueville is composed of 66% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot, aged for 18 months in barriques, 40% new and 60% one year old. Production of this label represents 30% of the harvest this year. Deep garnet-purple in color, it offers intense scents of baked blackberries, blackcurrant cordial and plum preserves, with touches of black truffles, charcoal and dark chocolate. The medium-bodied palate is delightfully refreshing and soft-textured, delivering plenty of juicy black fruits and loads of savory sparks, finishing long and lifted.
