JAMES SUCKLING: "An excellent Haut-Marbuzet with blackberry and currant character, but more importantly a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins that are polished and gorgeous. It's all here now, ready for wonderful development in barrel."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Medium to deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Haut-Marbuzet opens with exuberant scents of blackcurrant pastilles, wild blueberries and Bing cherries, plus hints of dried mint, chocolate box and bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate has lovely freshness and bright, crunchy black and red fruits with lightly chewy tannins and a quick finish." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

DECANTER: "Juicy, well-defined black fruits, a ton of character, well-balanced and loaded with graphite, wet stones, hawthorn, blackberry, earth - this is a really enjoyable wine, a good success in the vintage, and will age. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drinking Window 2024 - 2040."
