James Suckling: "Dark berries, spicy herbs and sea shell undertones. Graphite, too. Ripe but fresh and crunchy with medium to full body and firm, very fine, linear tannins. Long and mineral and delicate on the finish. Really attractive."

Weinwisser: "50 % Merlot, 45 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 30 hl/ha. Delikates, frisches blaubeeriges Bouquet, zartes Veilchenparfüm, Lakritze und heller Tabak. Am druckvollen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, mehligem Extrakt, dunkler Mineralik, engmaschigem Tanninkorsett, perfekt stützender Rasse, sehr tiefgründig mit burschikosem Körper. Im gebündelten Finale kleine schwarze Beeren, Wacholder und feinmürbe Adstringenz. Ich habe diesen St. Estèphe schon lange nicht mehr so gut als Fassmuster verkosten dürfen. 2029 – 2049."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "A gem of a wine with its blend of ripe, fleshy, blackberries, espresso, smoke, dark chocolate, and spice. The wine is expressive, showy, and packed with layers of polished, sweet, lush fruits with length, vibrancy, and character. It is nice to see a return to a high-level of quality for this estate. Drink from 2026-2045."
