Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart nach Veilchen und Kirschen, zarte Cassisnuancen, tabakige Würze. Saftig, ein Hauch von Gewürznelken, rotbeeriger Touch, mineralisch, seidige Tannine, ein eleganter Speisenbegleiter."

James Suckling: JAMES SUCKLING "Graphite and dark fruit aromas. Angular, with delineated fruit, tight precision and a succulent finish."

Jane Anson: Deep plum colour and here the aromatics are well worked, brambled plum, hawthorn and hedgerow, juicy finish, a little austere with fresh acidities but plenty of potential and will soften further over ageing. Sappy, bright. 34hl/h yield, which is fairly high for this estate in recent years. 3.55ph."

Wine Advocate: The 2025 Paloumey reveals aromas of dark berries, spices, lead pencil and well-integrated oak. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and velvety, it’s enveloping yet fresh, built around a core of fruit framed by polished tannins and concludes with a fresh, fruit-driven finish. This represents a clear step forward for the estate, delivering a wine that is both more approachable and more complete than in previous vintages. It's a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot."

Decanter: The nose is a bit shy, while the palate is very powerful but smooth, with good flesh and concentration; tannins are extremely velvety and round, a softer expression. Already accessible with a refreshing, citrusy finish."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Medium-bodied, fruity, round, and accessible, the wine is already a treat with its layers of sweet, creamy fruits. You can enjoy this on release and for 12-15 years after that. Drink from 2028-2040."
