"...ganz saubere, klare, aber eher dunkelbeerige Frucht, Cassis, dunkle Kirschen, ganz große Struktur, maskulin am Gaumen, kräftige Tannine, Schoko, schöne Tabak-Noten, feine Veilchen-Töne, ganz große Struktur. Muss mich wiederholen!." (04/2023)
Decanter: 99 Punkte
Spicy liquorice, bitter chocolate, tobacco, cigar, and aniseed on the nose. Round and bright, with juicy, delicate fruit and velvety tannins. Super concentrated yet graceful, layering ripeness, freshness, and stoniness. Controlled power - soft in texture but packed with Cabernet structure. Starts juicy and creamy, then surges with depth and length. Sweet black fruit meets cool, steely minerality, giving complexity and definition. Black liquorice on a sticky finish. Bold for Mouton but outstanding, this is going to deliver for decades. 3.68pH. Ageing 100% new oak. - Georgina Hindle (01/2025)
Jane Anson: 99 Punkte
Inky colour, cassis, cocoa bean, cocoa dusting, crushed rose petals, juice, pep, focus and crystalline character, a serious wine that will power for decades, intense and concentrated but with an oyster shell minerality, delicious quality. A great example of how brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon can be in this part of the world, and why it sets the benchmark globally. This is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy director. 49% of production in the Grand Vin, 27% Petit Mouton. 100% new barrels for ageing, harvest September 1 to 26. (12/2024)
