James Suckling: "Medium body with a compact core of dark fruit, blackcurrants, pine cones, cloves and chocolate. Beautiful depth. Firm, creamy tannins. Dark and firm, yet cool at the end. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 32% merlot and 4% petit verdot. Serious second wine."

Weinwisser: "Feingliedriges Bouquet, frisch gepflückte schwarze Johannisbeere, Flieder, Heidelbeergelee und Lakritze. Am gebündelten Gaumen mit weicher Textur, mehligem Extrakt, engmaschigem Tanningerüst. Im konzentrierten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, dunkles Graphit und fein mürbe Adstringenz, kann noch zulegen."

Decanter: "Bramble tones; fragrant and rich blackberry notes on the nose. A dark soul with depth and intensity, this has such richness and power, but restraint also. Concentrated with a directness and focus that drives it from start to finish aided by a linear vein of salinity, liquorice and blackcurrant. Tannins are robust and grippy, giving an impressive structure that is imposing in the mouth but retains a suave and endearing quality. Such charm and potential."

Wine Advocate: "Complex aromas of dark berries, sweet spices, licorice, cigar wrapper and loamy soil introduce the 2021 La Croix de Beaucaillou, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered wine that exhibits promising depth, concentration and structure in this challenging vintage. It's a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot—in other words, it contains at lot more Cabernet than usual."
