Chateau Mauvesin Barton 2018

ANTONIO GALLONI: "Crushed flowers, sweet pipe tobacco, cedar and red berry fruit are all nicely lifted in the 2018 Mauvesin Barton. This deceptively mid-weight, perfumed Moulis has a lot to offer, including a very finessed, persistent finish. I would prefer to drink it on the earlier side. Lovely."

JAMES SUCKLING: "There is serious depth of fruit in the center palate. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a lovely finish. Shows brightness and minerality."

DUNNUCK: "Pretty cherry and redcurrant fruits as well as leafy herbs and floral notes emerge from the 2018 Château Mauvesin Barton. Medium-bodied, with a nicely textured, elegant mouthfeel, moderate tannins, and outstanding length, it's a beautiful, classic Bordeaux to enjoy over the coming 10-15 years."

WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Better from the bottle than the barrel, the wine shows spice, fresh red fruits, cedar and tobacco leaf on the nose. Soft, juicy medium-bodied and energetic on the palate, the wine leaves you with a sweet, crisp jolt of red pit fruits."
