JAMES SUCKLING: "Aromas of black cherries and mulberries with hints of licorice and dried orange peel. Medium-bodied with silky texture and firm, slightly chewy tannins. Structured and compact with succulent fruit and a lingering finish with some savory notes to it. Drink or hold."

DECANTER: "Dried herbs, fragrant floral touches and sweet, chocolate-edged red fruits. Round and generous from the start, crisp and forward though delicate and graceful, not the most plush or exuberant take, this is softly nuanced with juicy and lively, sweet and sour strawberry and raspberry fruit with a gently creaminess and soft salty core. I like the combination with some bitter toasted, coffee touches on the finish."

WEINWISSER: "Verhaltenes rotbeeriges Bouquet, Estragon und Bienenwachs. Am saftigen Gaumen, feinspröde Textur, sandiges Extrakt und mittlerer Körper. Im gebündelten Finale Weichsel, Rosenholz und leicht aufrauende Adstringenz."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Made with 59% of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has a good structure and some solid tannins. It also has brilliant fruit, bright with black currant flavors and acidity that will age well. Drink from 2026."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2020 Château Mauvesin Barton brings more density and depth, yet it still has a more mid-weight, forward, pretty, and elegant style. A blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, it offers up lots of red and black fruits, some spicy, dried herbs, and violet nuances, soft tannins, and a clean, lengthy finish. This balanced, elegant Moulis will keep for 10-12 years or more."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Dried flowers, leafy herbs, tobacco and red currants work together to form the nose. Medium-bodied, bright, fresh, supple and aching to share its sweet red fruits, this is already delicious in your glass. Drink from 2023-2035."
