James Suckling: Precise and medium- to full-bodied, showing a focused, almost fibrous structure, polished tannins with a touch of granularity, and linear dark fruit."

Jane Anson: Vibrant plum in colour, earthy and rich on the aromatics, a ton of chalky tannins and energy that lifts through the palate, good ripeness, hint of mint and cherry pit. Harvest September 1 to 30. 10% new oak. 28hl/ha yield, just below appellation average."

Jeb Dunnuck: A beautiful, elegant wine, the 2025 Château Le Thil is based on 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and reveals black cherries, smoky tobacco, violets, and some spicy nuances on the nose. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel and fine tannins."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Ockerrandaufhellung. Reife Zwetschken, deutlich von Merlot gekennzeichnetes Bukett, rote Herzkirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, frisch strukturiert, reife Tannine, mineralisch im Abgang, zugänglicher, gastronomischer Stil."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Le Thil pops from the glass with notes of blueberries and juicy raspberries with touches of dried herbs, tilled soil, and tree moss. The medium-bodied palate is soft and bright with savory accents complementing the blue fruit flavors, finishing earthy. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc."
