The Vintage Journal 90-91 / 100 byAndrew Caillard MWthe5/17/2022 Medium-deep crimson. Blackcurrant herb aromas with negroni notes.

Alexandre Ma 90-91 / 100 byAlexandre Mathe5/16/2022 Citran 2021 is a very sleek wine. The aromas of fruits are smooth and natural, not too pronounced but clean and crispy. Thanks to their mastery of new oak aging, I can find the fine and dense tannins on the palate with scents of spices lingering on the finish. I would say a touch of extra roundness on the aftertaste will make it stand out more prominently.

Vinous 89-91 / 100 byNeal Martinthe5/12/2022 The 2021 Citran has a lovely bouquet of blood-orange-tinged black fruit, an Haut-Médoc with more energy than many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins on the entry, and maybe a little austere for some, though there is substance here and the finish is well-defined. Promising.
vvwine 86-88 / 100 byAdrian Van Velsenthe5/10/2022 Kühle, frische, feinduftige Nase, dezent Holz, schöne Frucht. Im Gaumen schlank und mit merklich Tannin, dieses überlagert die delikate Frucht etwas, karg im Abgang. 2025-2035 (Verkostet im April 2022. Durthe)
Wine Advocate 86-87 / 100 byWilliam Kelleythe4/29/2022 Notes of minty cassis and sweet soil tones introduce the 2021 Citran, a medium-bodied, lively wine built around tangy acids and powdery but rather assertive tannins.
