JAMES SUCKLING: "A medium-bodied red with blackberry, licorice and tar character. Medium, round and focused. Plenty going on here. Typical for the region."

DECANTER: "Lovely perfumed berry nose. Juicy and bright on the palate, this has a sense of joy to it and although the tannins come in and dominate the palate in terms of chewy texture the fruit has persistence and determination giving slightly sour cherry, strawberry and tangy raspberry the whole way through. I love the upfront nature here, the terroir on show in the glass, and the chalky tannins provide the support which will soften over time. Skilled winemaking on show."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Floral in nature with accents of tobacco leaf, spice, dark currants, and smoke. The wine is round, polished, soft, and sweet, with plenty of ripe, dark red berries and polished tannins in the medium-bodied finish. Drink from 2024-2039."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the 2021 La Louvière is a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless wine evocative of minty cassis, wild berries and nicely integrated new oak. Impressively rich and concentrated for the vintage, it's attractively pure and penetrating."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Vanille und Limetten, dunkle Waldbeeren, etwas Nougat, ein Hauch von Edelholz. Mittlerer Körper, dunkle Kirschen, gut integrierte Tannine, feinwürzig, frisch und gut entwickelt, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter."
