FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine rote Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Ribisel, Nuancen von Kirschen, dezente Edelholzwürze ist unterlegt. Saftig, reife Kirschen, ein Touch von Nougat, frisch, reife Tannine, bleibt haften, hat gutes Potenzial."

JEB DUNNUCK: "All Merlot from 8.5 hectares of vines, aging in 50% new barrels, the 2024 Château Lafleur-Gazin is deeper ruby/purple-hued and offers up beautiful aromatics of ripe blackberries, raspberries, spicy oak, graphite, and subtle chocolaty nuances. It's medium-bodied, balanced, has ripe tannins, and just a charming, layered, graceful style that's going to drink nicely right out of the gate. I'd happily buy a bottle."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Rolls out with ready-to-go notes of raspberry preserves and kirsch, giving way to an undercurrent of lavender oil, dried mint, and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is plush and juicy with plenty of pure red fruit flavors and a spicy lift on the finish."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Hints of espresso, followed by plums, black raspberries, and mocha already display their charm in this medium-bodied, open, supple, bright wine, leaving you with notes of chocolate, and smoky cherries in the fresh, finish. This will be open for pleasure just about on release, and will age for 12 or more years with ease. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot. Harvesting took place September 17 - September 28. Drink from 2027-2038."
