98 Points - James Suckling
A vivid and energetic Pontet-Canet with aromas of blueberries, blackberries, roses, violets, sandalwood and graphite. Medium-bodied with ultra-fine, caressing tannins, it combines a creamy texture with crushed stone and subtle mineral notes. The palate becomes simultaneously chewy and silky, carrying remarkable energy into a bright, persistent finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
97 Points - Decanter
Fresh red berries and mint lead the aromatic profile, with Cabernet Franc adding distinctive lift. The palate combines vibrant freshness with beautiful wet-stone salinity, setting it apart among its Pauillac peers. Well-managed acidity provides tangy energy, while ripe Cabernet Sauvignon contributes refined tannins and substantial long-term structure. Careful harvesting brings exceptional juiciness and precision to the final blend.

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
A serious and age-worthy Pauillac composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Black cherries and ripe blue fruits mingle with smoke, tobacco leaf, loamy earth, graphite and floral nuances. Medium- to full-bodied with excellent purity, elegant texture and abundant fine tannins, it finishes with impressive length and balance. Drink 2030–2065.
93 Points - Wine Spectator
Dark currant and blackberry reduction form the core, accented by singed alder and chestnut leaf. A firm, iron-like structure provides substantial grip while allowing the fruit to flow through the finish, where sweet bay adds a final aromatic touch. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2040.
