JAMES SUCKLING: "The tannins run nicely through the center of this wine, with subtle fruit to back it up. Medium body and attractive length. Polished. Transparent."

VINUM: "Auch dieses Jahr äusserst delikat; tiefgründig, herrliche Cassisfrucht, florale Noten, feuchter Stein; ausbalanciert am Gaumen, knackige rote Frucht, feinkörniges Tannin, rassige Säure, viel Zug, rotfruchtig im Abgang. Sehr Margaux!"

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Herzkirschen, feines Cassis, zart nach Nugat und Edelholz, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, Kirschen, gute Komplexität, reife Tannine, gute Frische, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, bleibt haften, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Round, soft, forward, and medium-bodied, with a core of ripe, sweet, lifted currants, licorice, espresso, flowers, and cherries, create an open, creamy, polished, wine that will be easy-to-enjoy with pleasure on release, and for 12-15 years after that. Drink from 2027-2040."

DECANTER: "With subtle floral and red fruit aromas, this wine starts out very nicely, and the bright attack enchants leading to a cool blue fruit mid palate, almost mentholated, although I notice the extraction of tannin on the finish, which is slightly drying. Conservative score for now."
