ANSON: "Medium intensity cherry red, slate and crayon texture, well handled, austere, but structured, you can see the slow build of muscles through the palate, and the deepening black fruit character. Softly spoken compared to many vintages of this excellent wine, but there are layers here, good complexity, and skilful construction."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "More austere and less luminous than recent vintages—a clear reflection of the vintage—the 2024 de Fieuzal is showing remarkably well within its context. Evoking dark berries, cassis, flowers and lead pencil, it's medium to full-bodied, sappy and layered with a delicate, precise mid-palate framed by velvety tannins and concluding with a delicate, saline finish. This blend of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Petit Verdot has clearly benefited from Stephen Carrier’s patient “wait-for-maturity” approach."

VINUM: "Parfümiert, mit Himbeeren und floralen Noten, die an Rosenblätter erinnern; delikat am Gaumen, nicht überladen, leichtfüssig, perfekt reife Frucht, wohl dosiertes Tannin, dieses hüllt sich wie ein Seidenmantel um den Fruchtkern, dazu kommt eine lebhafte Säure; langanhaltend, frisch, rotfruchtig im Abgang. Wird früh Spass machen, kann reifen."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black raspberries, flowers, assorted peppery spices, and red cherries are a pleasure in the nose. On the palate, the wine is delicate, fresh, and zesty, with a touch of Indian spices, and mint that accompany all of the strawberries, raspberries, and red plums, with their racy acidity. The wine blends 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot. 13% ABV. Drink from 2027-2038."
