  James Suckling
  "A wine evincing true enlightenment. It’s floral on the nose and also shows blackberries, stones, minerals and cedar. Full-bodied, yet its so fine-grained and tight. So, so long. It builds like a waterfall on the finish. The tannins are powerful yet superbly integrated and harmonious. Needs four to five years in bottle. Drink in 2023."

  Decanter
  "Strongly scented nose with the faintest hint of tertiary aromas, a soft coffee, vanilla, herbal aspect. Supple and juicy, really quite grippy and intense, not weighty, but this carries power and flavour really well. Strong and intense in terms of the aspects on show, vibrant blackcurrant, liquorice spiced black cherry, lots of dark fruit notes with some tobacco underneath. Still feels as if it hasn't quite hit its stride, a little tense and compact, but the bones of an amazing wine are there. I love the purity but more so the detail to the tannins, they're present and give structure and tang, but are so well worked. Long finish. Really profound."

  "Smoky, grilled depths of black cherry, damson, raspberry, fleshy yet reserved, stands out among the Pomerols for its subtle complexity, still plenty of give in those tannins, still a ton to reveal, revelling in its layers, grip and length, at once intense and concentrated and yet caressing in its tannic structure. A beautiful Petrus that shows why this wine can excel even in vintages that are more challenging for the appellation as a whole, but I would suggest holding on to it for a few more years yet. 50% new oak. Oliver Berrouet winemaker."

  Falstaff
  "Gute Frischfrucht. Brombeere. Herzkirsche. Sandelholz. Geschmeidig, ölig, auf druckvolle Weise seidig, makellos reifes Tannin, guter Nerv, leichte Süßreflexe, lange und homogen anhaltend, sehr feine Materie, aber in seiner nahtlos runden Fülle auch (post-)modern. Sehr viel Alkohol: 14,5 Prozent. Unterm Strich beeindruckend in der Art, wie der Reichtum in Finesse überführt wird."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "The color of red gems with the quintessence of black raspberry, tiny French lilies, cocoa bean, pink peppercorn and charcoal, this wine is all about the finesse and sublime purity found in the fruit. The silky, sweet cherries in the end note remained etched in the finish. Produced from 100% Merlot, the wine reached 14.5% with pH 3.6."

  "The wine is a velvet glove in an iron fist. The smooth surface of ripe fruits and rich blackberry flavors, masks the dense tannins that will allow this very great wine to age for many, many years. The acidity and the rich fruit combine with the fine dusty tannins. The wine will surely not be ready to drink before 2027."
