James Suckling: 92 Points
"This is a red that shows depth and intense minerality as well as dark-berry and sea-salt undertones. Medium-bodied tight and focused with blueberry and black-cherry character. Show focus and tightness. Drink now."
Wine Advocate: 90-92 Points
"The 2015 Chateau d'Aiguilhe is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc picked between September 23 and October 8 at 30 hectoliters per hectare and matured in 30% new oak barrels. It has a very ripe and opulent quite showing bouquet with fig and date-tinged red berry fruit. The palate is very well balanced a supple ball of red cherry and strawberry fruit with a touch of Christmas cake and allspice towards the finish; the Cabernet Franc imparts a little edginess with a saline tincture lingering on the aftertaste. This is a very fine Côtes de Castillon from Comtes Von Neipperg. " -Neal Martin

"A swath of toasty singed vanilla starts off quickly backed by waves of currant and plum preserves. As the flavors knit a graphite spine emerges and drives the anise- and apple wood?tinged finish. Let this settle in with a little cellaring. Very solid. Best from 2020 through 2027."
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2015 d'Aiguilhe is a rich voluptuous wine. Raspberry jam rose petal spice and licorice infuse this heady exotic wine from Stephan von Neipperg. I would give the 2015 at least another year or two to come together fully. Mocha white pepper and chalky notes give the wine an attractive upper register. Tasted two times.
