Score 86-88/100 · Drink 2022-2032, Neal Martin, May 2018

The 2017 La Confession from Jean-Philippe Janoeix, has a very ripe bouquet with blueberry, black cherries and cassis fruit that feels a little smudged and warm. The palate is medium-bodied with dense tannin, grippy in the mouth but over-extracted and lacking clarity on the finish. There is something a little anachronistic about this Saint-Émilion.

The 2017 La Confession is endowed with serious depth and unctuousness. Blueberry jam, menthol, licorice, sweet French oak, crème de cassis, spice and new leather are all amped up in this decidedly flamboyant Saint-Émilion. Although not exactly subtle, the 2017 is quite delicious.

Inky crimson. Deep cassis aroma. Rich black plums and damsons. Firm, chewy tannins with just enough fruit to balance the big structure. Pretty dry on the finish, powerfully built, compact tannins, and just enough fruit to keep the tannins apart. (JH)
