James Suckling: "Very pretty and solid texture with medium velvety tannins, dark and juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. Nice structure as well as balance."

Decanter: "Bright and forward on the nose, smells deep but lively, perfumed and vibrant. Smooth and rich with a chew to the present tannins giving a fleshy, ample feel to the palate while the acidity gives the bounce and the ripe black fruit gives the density and concentration. Feels powerful, just reigned in well enough to be vibrant and not too heavy, but there's heft here no doubt. Strong, characterful but the acidity just about keeps things fun. A touch tense at the end, restricting some of the length with toast, cedar and clove spice that lingers. A bit more serious at this point than some though still with plenty of appealing Pomerol swagger. 3.6pH. Rolland & Associés consultants."

Weinwisser: "Betörendes Bouquet, frisch gepflückte Alpenheidelbeere, Brombeergelee, Lakritze, parfümierter Pfeifentabak und satter Veilchenduft. Am sublimen durchtrainierten Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, herrlicher Extraktfülle, gut stützender Rasse, engmaschigem Tanninkorsett und dunkler Mineralik. Im konzentrierten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, Edelholz und feinmürbe Adstringenz. Auf dem gleichen Niveau wie 2019 und 2018, aber reiner und mit mehr Konzentration. 2030 – 2048."

Falstaff: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Pflaumen, schwarze Waldbeeren, kandierte Orangen, etwas Nugat. Komplex, kraftvoll, schokoladige Textur, reif und anhaftend, ein opulenter, ausladender Stil, bereits entwickelt."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Medium-bodied, with notes of espresso, plums, and cocoa before you find the luscious layers of black and red pit fruits, silky tannins, and chalky finish with its white peppery edge on the back end. Drink from 2025-2042."
