A wine with lovely depth of fruit and ripeness, yet always refined and integrated with ripe fruit, fresh acidity and a long and satisfying finish. Could be best ever.
Score: 93-94 James Suckling (JS), JamesSuckling.com, April 2018
The 2018 Plince is a powerful, rather four-square Pomerol. Even so, there is good depth and plenty of richness. Perhaps élevage can soften some of the more angular contours that are present. Today, the oak is not perfectly balanced (not unusual at this stage), but there is more than enough depth to make me cautiously optimistic that this dark, rather brooding Pomerol might find a bit better balance in time.
Score: 88-91 Antonio Galloni (AG), Vinous Media (VM), April 2019
Blended of 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Plince offers up notions of espresso, cedar chest, menthol and tar over a core of preserved plums and baked blackberries with a waft of bouquet garni. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black fruit preserves and savory layers, framed by grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with a minerally lift.

The 2018 Plince, which I did not tasted from barrel, has a straightforward nose of dusky, earthy red berry fruit, truffle and light cedar aromas. The palate is better than the nose, delivering well-defined, quite edgy red fruit, fine acidity and quite an elegant finish. I would give this another couple of years in bottle and maybe the nose will just muster a little more personality.
Score: 89+ Neal Martin (NM), Vinous Media (VM), March 2021
Spicy oak, crème de cassis, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2018 Château Plince, a medium-bodied, elegant, nicely textured Pomerol that has fine tannins and considerable charm. It should drink well for 10-12 years. The blend is 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc, all from a 21-acre parcel of darker, compact, iron-laced soils.
Score: 90-92 Jeb Dunnuck (JD), JebDunnuck.com (JD), May 2019
Coffee grounds on the nose, this is polished and enjoyable with solid expression. Cassis and bilberry on the palate - clearly showing that Cabernet Franc influence, with a savoury edge, if a little heavy-handed on the extraction.
