Wine Spectator 91-93Antonio Galloni "The 2022 Plince is dark, supple and quite engaging. Black cherry, plum, licorice, menthol, spice and leather all flesh out. The ripeness of the year is evident in the wine's slightly roasted profile, but this is an en primeur sample. It will be interesting to see how this turns out."
Decanter 91
Jane Anson- - Tobacco, even a touch of tar on the opening moments, this is highly charged, intense cassis and bilberry fruits. Captures appellation signature, while also reflecting the intense spice and ripeness of the vintage. 8.5ha, sandy-clay.
James Suckling 93-94
Very fresh flowers with berry and black truffle character on the nose, following through to a medium to full body with fine yet chewy tannins and a chalky, fresh finish. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc.
Wine Advocate 89-91
Jeb Dunnock "The 2022 Plince was picked 19-23 September. This has a more extravagant bouquet with red berry fruit, iodine and violet scents. It is quite polished and high toned, with commendable purity. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy tannins, a lovely rondeur, a bit of chocolaty new oak to be subsumed but this Pomerol is endowed with plenty of fruit to soak that up. Not a long term prospect necessarily, but this will be delicious after 3-4 years in bottle."

Parker 88-90
Aromas of sweet cassis and toasty new oak introduce the 2022 Plince, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine that concludes with a vanillin-inflected finish.
