JAMES SUCKLING: "This is solid and structured with an impressive concentration of fruit in the center-palate and chocolatey undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with firm yet very fine, almost silky tannins. Long finish."

VINUM: "Komplex, Minze, rauchige Noten, dunkle Frucht; delikate Frucht, zeigt Druck und Rasse, markante Gerbstoffe, noch etwas wild, jedoch von hoher Qualität; langanhaltend, frisch im Abgang. Darf reifen."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The deep ruby/purple-hued 2023 Château Pierre 1Er offers up a big, rich, nicely oaked bouquet of black and blue fruits, scorched earth, and graphite, and it shows more floral and violet notes with time in the glass. Rich, medium-bodied, and balanced, with good concentration and chalky tannins, it's another impressive 2023 with tons to love."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Floral in nature, the wine pops with cherries, licorice, plums, and spice fill the perfume. The palate is soft, supple, creamy, chocolatey, and fresh. Drink from 2027-2038."
