JEB DUNNUCK: "Another brilliant wine from Margaux, the 2023 Château Kirwan reveals a deep blue/purple hue to go with a nicely oaked profile of ripe black fruits, leafy herbs, iron, violets, and spice. It's balanced, medium to full-bodied, has a supple, layered mouthfeel, remarkable purity, and a great finish. As with most 2023s, it's going to shine with just a few years of bottle age."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This shows notes of ripe dark berries with hints of licorice and orange peel. It’s very polished and refined with a solid center-palate. Medium-bodied and creamy on the finish."

VINUM: "Deutliche Röstnoten, dahinter reife Frucht, Weihnachtsgewürze; dicht, satte Frucht, feinkörnige Tannine, sehr gute Länge. Schliesst an das sehr gelungene Jahr 2022 an. Bravo!"

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Waldbeerfrucht, frische Kirschen, zart nach hellem Nugat und Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig und frisch, etwas Marzipan, zitronig-mineralischer Touch im Abgang, ein leichtfüßig wirkender Speisenwein."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, espresso, mint, black cherries, and spice nuances are easy to spot. Medium-bodied, fresh, elegant, and refined, with a silky-edge to the finish, the fruits, chocolate accents, and a lifted, sweet endnote. Drink from 2028-2045."
