91 points James Suckling"Ripe strawberries and raspberries on the nose, with notes of dried flowers, citrus peel and light spices. Bright and juicy on the medium bodied palate, with dusty tannins and crunchy acidity that provides backbone and tension...

96 points James Suckling"Attractive aromas of blueberries and mulberries with graphite, dark licorice and crushed stones. Dark chocolate, too. Full-bodied. Impressive quality to the tannin structure that starts gently and glossy and continues to build,...

96 points James Suckling"Beautiful aromas of flowers and berries, intermingled in fresh and brambly mode with a cedary edge. This is very fresh. The tannins carve an exceptionally deep, long line through the dark berries and cassis and deliver a very...

94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"A beautifully complex, elegant and gorgeously pure nose offers up notes of violet, plum and a broad range of spice elements that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. Just as with the Bèze there is seriously...

Jancis Robinson"Also rich and slow, like the Folatières – heavy with its oak mantle. But the Garenne does have more freshness and racy acidity. Lime and lemon zest. Long in the spine and mid line, promising magnificence if you wait...

95 points James Suckling"Pretty nose of lychees, white peaches, candied lemons, tangerines, honeysuckle and stem ginger. Sweet and luscious with a creamy, peachy palate. Acidity gives it a lift on the finish. Wonderful freshness and elegance. Drink or...
