Vinous: 96 Points
The 2019 Clos de Sarpe is off the charts gorgeous. Black cherry, leather, licorice, spice and chocolate are all dialed up. As always, Clos de Sarpe is unabashedly opulent, but in recent years there has been a touch more focus, a bit more delineation to balance things out. The 2019 is positively stunning. That's all there is to it.

I love this estate, and their 2019 Château Clos De Sarpe offers the newer, balanced, elegant style of recent vintages while still bringing beautiful fruit and opulence. Cassis, blueberries, graphite, tobacco damp earth, and violet notes are just some of its nuances, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, awesome purity of fruit, good acidity, and a great finish. It's going to take a decade of bottle age to hit maturity and will evolve for 30 to 40 years. This classic, beautiful, old-school yet pure and balanced Saint-Emilion deserves a place in your cellar.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2019 Clos de Sarpe has turned out nicely in bottle, wafting from the glass with a generous bouquet of blackberries, Morello cherries and plums mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and nicely integrated new oak. Full-bodied, broad and velvety, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and an ample endowment of fine, chalky tannin, it's a powerful but vibrant Saint-Émilion that testifies to the interest of the site
