  James Suckling
  "So bright and vivid with flowers, orange peel, and currant aromas that follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins and a fresh and vivid finish. Purity. You see the cabernet sauvignon clearly...".

  "The 2020 Clos Marsalette is clearly outstanding, with terrific red and black fruits as well as some earthy truffle and spicy, tobacco-driven aromatics. Based on 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, this medium to full-bodied, silky, textured 2020 is going to over-deliver over the coming 15+ years."

  Wine Spectator
  "Very sleek and tightly focused, with a long, thin, piercing iron note through the middle of a core of red currant and loganberry fruit, all flanked in turn by subtle alder and red tea. Flashes a mouthwatering edge on the finish, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2025 through 2033. 2,000 cases made, 200 cases imported."

  Weinwisser
  "58 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 40 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 22 hl/ha (aufgrund Mehltau), Alkohol 13.5 vol%. Tiefes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und rubinrotem Rand. Intensiver Waldbeercocktail mit Fliedernote, dahinter Lakritze, Brasiltabak und Milchschokolade. Am molligen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, reifer Extraktfülle und kakaoartigem Tanningerüst. Im aromatischen Finale eine volle Ladung blauer Beeren, Wacholder und Graphit, endet mit spröder Adstringenz und zarten kernigen Noten."

  Decanter
  "Soft grilled oak notes on the nose, this has the glamour of Clos Marsalette, beautifully expressed with a touch of bitter coffee on the finish that adds balance. Concentrated and intense, with 22hl/ha yield coming through in the depth of flavour, balanced by touches of eucalyptus and spice. 35% new oak. Tasted twice."

  Falstaff
  "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Nuancen von Nougat und Feigen, schwarze Kirschen sind unterlegt, kandierte Orangenzesten klingen an. Saftig, kraftvoll, reife Pflaumen, straffe Tannine, süße Textur, dunkler Nougat im Abgang, feinwürzig und gut anhaftend, ein stoffiger Speisenbegleiter."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Medium-bodied, elegant, soft, silky, fresh and vibrant with a core of cocoa-dusted, plums, cherries, currants, and leafy herbs. Refined, and polished on the palate, with an energetic, tobacco-infused, cherry filled mouthful of fruit, with a hint of chalk, espresso and dark chocolate, this is going to be great with a year or two of age. Drink from 2024-2040."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2020 Clos Marsalette offers up rich aromas of dark berries, cherries, smoked meats and rich spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's supple and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit and a savory, carnal finish."
