JAMES SUCKLING: "A well-made, textured and succulent red. Cherries and grilled meat on the nose, following through to a medium body with chewy tannins."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Bursts with bold notes of red currant preserves and wild strawberries, plus suggestions of tar, licorice, and Provence herbs. The light-bodied palate is soft and juicy with a good amount of expressive fruit and an herbal-laced finish."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Couhins is a strong effort within the context of the vintage. It opens with aromas of dark berries, cassis and licorice, complemented by floral notes of iris. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and lively, it is framed by velvety tannins and concludes with a long, firm finish that should gain depth and finesse through élevage. The blend is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot."
