James Suckling: Well composed, balanced and tactile, with aromas of forest berries and violets. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Driven and succulent, with a racy finish of length."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 de la Huste zips out with vibrant notes of red cherries and juicy raspberries, giving way to nuances of rose bud tea, fragrant soil, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate is bright and energetic with intense red fruit layers and a soft texture, finishing with great tension. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The alcohol is 13.5%."

Jeb Dunnuck: Beautiful red fruits, flowers, spice, and graphite all define the 2025 Château De La Huste, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc resting in 40% new barrels. Coming from healthy yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare, it's medium-bodied on the palate, has a beautiful sense of elegance, fine tannins, and integrated tannins. It would make one hell of a house red."
