Weinwisser: "78 % Merlot, 15 % Cabernet Franc, 7 % Malbec. Intensives blaubeeriges Bouquet, Lakritze, erkalteter Earl Grey-Tee und betörendes Veilchenparfüm. Am satten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, konzentrierter Extraktfülle, stützender Rasse, engmaschigem Tanningerüst und durchtrainiertem Körper. Im langanhaltenden Finale mit einer Explosion von blauen Beeren, schwarzen Johannisbeerdrops und dunklen Schokonoten. Beeindruckende Leistung, (fast) auf dem gleichen Niveau wie in den Vorjahren!"

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dunkle Herzkirschen, zart nach Pflaumen, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten und Nougat, feine Edelholznuancen. Saftig, rund und kraftvoll, schokoladige Textur, reife Tannine, gute Frische und Länge, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial."

James Suckling: "Medium-bodied, tight and structured with firm and fine tannins. Lots of flowers, bark, blackberries and cocoa powder. Bright acidity, too. Zesty finish."

Jancis Robinson: "Cask sample. Beautiful nose, blueberry and sweet cranberry with a blueberry note. The palate is fine and detailed with well-managed tannins and lots of fruit, cinnamon, exotic spice, pomegranate and plums. Elegant mid palate and layered textured finish. Lots to enjoy here! (AC)"

Wine Advocate: "Another promising wine, the 2021 Rol Valentin exhibits aromas of cherries, berries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively palate that's nicely concentrated, concluding with a sapid finish. It's produced from holdings situated on iron-rich clay soils next to Valandraud and supplemented by Malbec from a parcel near Figeac."
