  James Suckling
  "Lots of black olive with dark fruit and sandalwood on the nose. Full-bodied with layers of velvety and soft tannins, yet they stay vibrant and focused. Very integrated palate. Flavorful at the end. Drink after 2026."

  Falstaff
  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit süßen Gewürzen und feinen Edelholznuancen unterlegte schwarze Waldbeerfrucht, ein Hauch von Lakritze, frische Mandarinenzesten, attraktives Bukett. Komplex, saftig, kraftvolle Textur, dunkler Nougat und reife Pflaumen, reife Tannine, bleibt lange haften, sicheres Reifepotenzial."

  Decanter
  "Heady and concentrated, a deep dark core of blackcurrant and black cherry fruits. Vibrant acidity keeps things lifted and although the muscular tannins coat the mouth giving a soft grip there is nice energy here with a sleek handle on the cool blue fruits, acidity and gorgeous florality. Feels complete, not charming so much right now, but certainly evocative as it's quite forward and confident with strong tobacco, liquorice and clove spice giving the oak on the finish. One to wait for."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Soft, lush, ripe, sweet, black, and red plums infused with chocolate, truffles and licorice on the backend in the nose, and on the palate create the core of this wine. The finish offers freshness with waves of plush, black cherries, and a touch of spicy cocoa. Give it a year or two in the cellar, and it will really start to show its stuff. Drink from 2024-2045."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2020 Rouget is another rich, demonstrative wine from this estate situated on the edge of the Pomerol plateau. Offering up aromas of blackberries, cherries and baking chocolate framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a ripe core of fruit, powdery tannins and an expansive, vanillin-inflected finish. With a lighter touch in élevage and efforts to pursue more vibrant flavors, it's clear that this estate could easily score even higher."

  "The 2020 Château Rouget showed nicely, with plenty of ripe black cherries, melted chocolate, tobacco, and a hint of iron in its medium to full-bodied, richer, tannic profile. While it's not the most elegant wine out there, it has impressive depth of fruit, sound structure, and a great finish. Tasted twice."

  Weinwisser
  "Tiefes Purpur mit opaker Mitte und zartem rubinrotem Rand. Dichtes Bouquet mit dunkler Kirsche, Nelkenköpfe und dominikanischem Tabak, dahinter Holundergelee und Schokopastillen. Am vielschichtigen Gaumen mit weicher Textur, körniges Extrakt und mittlerer Körper. Im gebündelten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, dunkles Graphit, endet mit sandiger Adstringenz und zarten kernigen Noten im Untergrund."
