James Suckling: A firm and fresh red with white pepper, salt and iodine that follow through to a medium body with linear tannins and a bright finish. Long finish."

Vinum: Feinfruchtig, mineralisch geprägte Nase, Kräuterwürze, Zitrusabrieb; am Gaumen straff, strukturiert, viel Biss, ungemein frisch, mit delikatem Fruchtkern und einem langen, sehr salzigen Finale. Ein Hit."

Decanter: A fresh and engaging showing: a wet-stone note on the nose alongside bright red cherry fruit gives an immediate sense of lift. The palate packs plenty of juice, underpinned by lively acidity (pH 3.35) that keeps everything energetic, if not quite as seamlessly balanced as the best examples in this vintage that marry ripeness and freshness more completely. Still, a well-crafted wine with good vibrancy and charm - and more convincing than some peers in this price range, and an enjoyable expression overall."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Quite floral, and filled with sweet, ripe, red fruits, and a touch of licorice that creates the nose. On the palate, the wine is soft, supple, creamy, silky, and fresh, leaving you with more of those sweet, red fruits, plums, and a touch of salty-cocoa in the finish. The wine is made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2028-2042."

Jeb Dunnuck: Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château D'Aiguilhe is based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from very old vines and aging in 20% new oak. It has a classic limestone-driven profile in its red and black fruits, sappy flowers, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, with a pure, balanced, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and good acidity."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Noch etwas verhalten, rote Waldbeeren, floraler Touch, Kirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten unterlegt. Saftig, feine Kirschenfrucht, zarte Kräuterwürze, dezenter Nougattouch, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, bereits zugänglich und ansprechend, rotbeeriger Nachhall."
