Jane Anson: 95 Punkte

Delivers power, balance, and juice, stretches out through the palate, less exuberant than the 2018, instead it is moreish, mouthwatering, classically balanced, with oyster shell salinity, slate tannins, blackberries, crushed rapsberry with white pepper and sage spice. First one to have a touch of Carmanère in the blend. 50% new oak for ageing, 50hl/h yield. Eric Boissenot consultant, Philippe Delfaut director. (09/2024)

The 2019 Kirwan has an understated, cedar and graphite-tinged bouquet, a little Pauillac-like in style, nuanced and gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with taut tannins, focused, tensile and linear with plenty of sapidity towards its oyster shell-tinged finish. Very precise and very sophisticated, this is the best Kirwan in many years - maybe a benchmark for the estate. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Blackcurrants with bark, cedar and dried flowers coming through in the nose. Full-bodied with integrated tannins and a long, linear finish. Racy and refined. Sophisticated. Try after 2024. (01/2022)

Redcurrants, Bing cherry, graphite, licorice, violet, and flowery incense notes all define the bouquet of the 2019 Chateau Kirwan, a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated Margaux that has a pretty, elegant, juicy style. It doesn't have the density of the top wines in the appellation, yet it's certainly nicely balanced, has supple tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, all making for a beautifully polished, elegant 2019 to drink over the coming 20 years or so.

The 2019 Kirwan has a deep garnet-purple color. To begin it offers classic notes of cassis, pencil lead, and cedar, opening out to notions of crushed rocks, wild sage, and roses. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit, refreshing, and energetic, with fine-grained tannins and a mineral-laced finish. (05/2023)

Lets very dark plum sauce, cassis and boysenberry preserve flavors unfurl over silky tannins, with black tea and a light sanguine hint infusing the finish. What you see is what you get—and it's delicious. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Drink now through 2032. 10,416 cases made.

The 2019 Kirwan is performing better than it did six months ago. Bursting with aromas of blackberries, currants, lilac blossom and creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a succulent core of fruit, soft tannins and a mouthwatering finish. It was evidently shut down after bottling when I last tasted it, as this is now a giving, fruit-driven, modern-styled Margaux that will appeal to readers seeking upfront appeal in the near future.
