RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Pliant, supple and inviting... All the elements are wonderfully fused together. Ripe red cherry, blood orange, mint and sweet floral notes all build as this racy Margaux shows off its sensuality and charm.

93-94James Suckling

This is dense and layered with a velvety texture and very rich palate. Powerful yet fresh. Creamy and minerally. Unique Gurgue.

90+ The Wine Advocate

...rich aromas of blackberries and cherries mingled with subtle hints of spices and charcoal. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with lively acids and powdery structuring tannins, it's unusually muscular for this estate without forsaking its quintessentially elegant, seamless style.

16Jancis Robinson

Dark and charry but not particularly oaky, just more savoury. Chewy but surprisingly fresh, a touch of something floral and savoury at the same time. Firm, dry, dark-fruited. Tannins are compact and dense but not heavy...
