Other Reviews....
Offers very juicy and fun raspberry and blackberry fruit, with lively anise and spice accents. Should be delicious.

James Molesworth - Wine Spectator

There’s real clarity of fruit in this young wine with blackcurrant and blackberry flavors, medium body, polished tannins and a persistent finish.

The 2018 d'Aiguilhe is fabulous. Rich and ample to the core, the 2018 bursts from the glass with striking intensity. Super-ripe red and purplish berry fruit, lavender and rose petals are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. This sumptuous, flamboyant Côtes de Castillon is a real stunner. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

A sleeper in the vintage, the 2018 Château d'Aiguilhe comes from the talented team of Canon-La-Gaffelière. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from the limestone soils of the Castillon region, still aging in 20% new oak, it has impressive cassis and black raspberry fruits intermixed with notions of crushed rocks, spice, and spring flowers. Pure, medium to full-bodied, with both sweet fruit and integrated acidity, it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate yet keep for 10-15 years or more. It’s going to be a smoking value!
