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."
