James Suckling: Fresh and refined, with polished tannins and a precise nature. It’s medium-bodied with a caressing finish. Harmonious for such a young wine."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2025 Maucaillou storms out with notes of plum preserves and red currant jelly, leading to an undercurrent laced with cedar chest, spice box, and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is bright with great tension and firm, grainy tannins, finishing with impressive length."

Jane Anson: Powerful rich purple colour, high cloves, spiced cocoa bean and smoked earth, this has high extraction, walks the line but stays on the right side of bitter. Chalky tannins as it opens, allowing the fruit to appear. 30% new oak. Harvest 8 to 22 September."

Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Etwas Nougat, dunkle Beerenfrucht, ein Hauch von Kräutern, etwas zurückhaltendes Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, dezente Zwetschkenfrucht, integrierte Tannine, etwas Nougat, braucht seine Zeit."

Decanter: Sweet coffee and liquorice on the nose with a hint of sloe berries. The palate is a bit fragile, though fine and precise, moderately concentrated, and short. Red cherries and red plums dominate the flavour, with fine-grained tannins supporting the structure. Quite accessible already"

The Wine Cellar Insider: Flowers, and currants are on display in the perfume. The medium-bodied palate is soft, round, fruity, and creamy allowing you to enjoy this on release and for 10-12 years after that with pleasure. Drink from 2028-2038."
