DECANTER: "Although it shows some tannic tightness, the very nice lovely floral aromatics along with graphite - the wine has more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual - make this just lovely. The palate shows off subtle opulence with balancing tension. Ageing in 50% new oak will broaden the palate even more. Long finish."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Ripe darker berries, cassis, flowers, and spice are just some of the nuances in the 2023 Château Couhins Lurton, a pure, polished, medium to full-bodied Pessac that has fine tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "With a bit more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend than usual, the wine opens with flowers, spice, black raspberries, and black cherries in the nose. Fresh, and fruity on the medium-bodied, palate, the wine is fresh, and vibrant with good energy, and elegance in the fruit-filled finish. This should be delicious to taste on release ,and get even better with a few years in the bottle. The wine is a blend of 85% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14.5% ABV, pH 3.35. Drink from 2026-2040."

FALSTAFF: „Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Brombeeren und schwarze Kirschen, einladende Frucht im Bukett, zarte Kräuterwürze und etwas Nugat sind unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, frische Kirschen, rassiger Säurebogen, kompakt und zugänglich, bietet ein lebendiges Trinkvergnügen."

VINUM: "Rauchig-würzige Nase, Zedern, Sauerkirschen; gradlinig, straff, lebhafte Säure, mittlere Statur, rotfruchtig und mit Blutorangen im Abgang."
