James Suckling
Fabulous aromas of blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon, and perfume. Full-bodied, tight and explosive. Pulls back on the palate and then releases. A wine with complexity, depth and excitement. A blend of best wines from Belgrave, La Garde, Le Boscq and Grand Barrail Lamarzelle Figeac. Only made in selected vintages. 6,000 bottles. A structured red for long-term aging yet balanced and beautiful. Try in 2023.

Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
This richly juicy wine has great intensity along with opulence. Solid tannins are there still, behind the juicy black-plum fruits and the spicy intensity. A blend from four different chateaus owned by the producer, the wine still has aging possibility. Drink from 2021.
