James Suckling: 93 Points
A very floral and beautiful wine with salt and iron. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins and a iron-like finish. Drink after 2025.

Always worth looking for the Nicolas Thienpont name for precise, carefully-sculpted winemaking. This is juicy and very much focused on black and blue berry fruits, a cooling shot of mint and lemongrass on the finish, easy to enjoy, great value.
The Wine Cellar Insider: 93 Points
Deeply colored, the wine shows off its nose of licorice, flowers, red pit fruits and crushed rocks effortlessly. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, richly textured, lush and silky, with freshness and loads of mineral-driven, red fruits and chocolate in the finish. If you are not familiar with this beauty, you should be, because this stunner sells for a song for a wine of its quality. This should drink well with just a year or two of aging (If you can wait that long.) Drink from 2024-2037.
Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW: 93 Points
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Alcee leaps with energetic scents of warm black cherries, mulberries, and black raspberries, plus suggestions of chocolate box, dried roses, and cardamom. The full-bodied palate is plush and juicy, delivering bags of fragrant black fruits, finishing long and perfumed.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92+ Points
Coming from the Castillon region and based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Alcée is another brilliant wine from the Thienpont team. Lots of red and black fruits, white truffle, spice, and some floral notes all emerge from this incredibly elegant, medium-bodied, finesse-driven 2020. It shows lots of limestone character, and I suspect it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age. It should evolve nicely through 2032.
