93 Points - James Suckling

Very tannic yet polished and firm, with currant, bark and stone character. Full-bodied, muscular and linear, with impressive length and a structured profile built for further development.

93 Points - Decanter

Black-fruit-driven Pauillac showing the character of sister estate Mouton. The wine is beginning to open, with silky, well-integrated tannins and impressive depth, performing particularly well for the vintage.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Juicy and generous, with crisp fruit and soft tannins. The rounded, approachable structure gives the wine fine character while allowing it to become accessible relatively early.

91 Points - Wine Spectator

Fresh and pure, with a substantial core of cassis and blackberry fruit. Fine chalky minerality runs through the polished structure, while anise and spice provide additional complexity.

89 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Clean and fresh, showing blackberry and raspberry fruit with cedar emerging with air. The medium-bodied palate combines supple tannins, fine acidity and noticeable minerality through a tense, sophisticated finish.
