matthewjukes.com 14,5 / 20 byMatthew Jukesthe4/23/2014 Raw, vegetal and far too much sour skin and over maceration flavours. Oak is hard as well. Not ripe enough and a little mouldy.
Vinous 84-87 / 100 byAntonio Gallonithe4/17/2014 Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco and new leather flesh out in the 2013 La Gurgue. This attractive, juicy Margaux should deliver considerable pleasure over the next handful of years.
Decanter.com 16,25 / 20 bySteven Spurrierthe4/14/2014 Fragrant Margaux nose, good middle fruit, good depth and tannins.
Jamessuckling.com 86-87 / 100 byJames Sucklingthe4/8/2014 Some berry and cherry character with bright acidity. Could develop nicely with élevage.
Wine Enthusiast 86-88 / 100 byRoger Vossthe4/3/2014 This is a juicy wine at first, laced with acidity. There is a green, underripe character as well as dark tannins. It has a tough, tight finish that needs to soften.
Wine Spectator 79-82 / 100 byJames Molesworththe4/3/2014 Modest damson plum fruit gives way to a twinge of savory before a twang of pickle enters the finish, growing steadily. —J.M.
