Jamessuckling.com 91 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe2/4/2019 The berry and sweet-tobacco aromas are very pretty. It shows full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh, tangy finish. Drink after 2020.
Wein Wisser 17 / 20 the5/22/2017 Purpur mit Granatschimmer am Rand. Intensives Bouquet mit Cassisdrops und Himbeergelee, dahinter Schattenmorellensaft. Im mittleren Gaumen mit feinsandigem Tannin und roten Kirschen im Rückaroma, hat seine Balance bereits gefunden.
Wine Advocate 85-87 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/2/2017 The 2014 Château la Garricq offers attractive blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose, the oak neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannin and this just feels a little attenuated towards the finish when I would be looking for more depth.
Jamessuckling.com 91-92 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/20/2017 Tight and focused with blackberry, blueberry and mineral character. Medium-to full-bodied and chewy on the finish. Looking forward to seeing the evolution of this one in barrel.
Wine Enthusiast 88-90 / 100 byRoger Vossthe4/20/2017 Barrel Sample. This wine is firm and structured, with dry tannins. The base of full-bodied plum fruits rescues the dryness. Try it after 2025.
