The 2021 Château Citran is tough to read, with lots of oak and a medium-bodied, firm focused style on the palate. Judgment a touch reserved here.

The 2021 Citran is a very pretty, expressive wine. Crushed flowers, spice, tobacco and earthy notes give this mid-weight Haut-Médoc tons of charm. Vibrant, citrus-inflected tones lend brightness. All the elements are so well balanced. I would open this in advance to allow the tannins a bit of time to soften.

The 2021 Citran offers up notes of dark berries, mint and pencil shavings, followed by a medium-bodied, lively palate that's a touch pinched and angular on the finish.

Blue and black berry fruit on the nose, alongside graphite and tobacco. Clean, firm and linear with a medium body, tight tannins and savory finish. Drink from 2024.

A medium-bodied, creamy red with pretty walnut and blackcurrant notes. Nicely balanced with a supple finish.

Medium-deep crimson. Blackcurrant herb aromas with negroni notes. Well balanced wine with ample cassis, mulberry fruits, fine loose-knit vigorous/ cedary textures and integrated oak. Finishes firm with some leafy notes. Should develop richness with bottle age. 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 20% cabernet franc. 14 months in 30% new oak. 13% alc

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.

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.

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)

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.
