93 points Wine Enthusiast"The second wine of Cos d'Estournel is powerfully packed with tannins and dark ripe fruit. It is enormously rich and intense while keeping a fine smooth texture. There is a dark core that is going to allow the wine to develop...

100 points Wine Advocate"One of the unequivocally great wines of the vintage is the 2019 Cheval Blanc, a stunning young Saint-Émilion that wafts from the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums mingled with notions of lilac, pipe tobacco,...

96 points Jeb DunnuckThe 2019 Château Quintus is brilliant and does everything right in the vintage. Loaded with ripe red and black cherry fruits as well as notes of white truffle, leafy herbs, baking spices, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a...

99 points James Suckling"So much violets, licorice, pencil, flowers and currants define this on the nose before it moves to fresh mushrooms. It’s full-bodied yet compacted with tension and a compressed center palate. Incredible, fine-grained...

95 points James Suckling"I can’t remember a Haut-Batailley this tannic, yet the tannins are savory and very ripe with beauty and purity. Full-bodied, chewy tannins and a long and intense finish." 94 points Jeb Dunnuck"The flagship 2018...

93 points James SucklingVery aromatic with cassis and stone character that follows through to a medium to full body, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Fine texture. Try in 2022. 92 points Wine Advocate"The 2014 Haut Batailley has a very subtle bouquet,...

91 points Decanter"Citrus and white pear fruits form the major character of the wine, all wrapped up in a tight spine of mouthwatering minerality. Great stuff. Around half of the planting Sauvignon Blanc is from Sancerre genetics. 20% new oak. Drinking...

99 points James Suckling"Aromas of crushed blackberries and blueberries with dried flowers and bark, following through to a full body with a tight and powerful palate of beautiful fruit and chewy yet polished tannins that are compressed and impressive...

94 points James Suckling"This is a vivacious and very attractive, ripe Pauillac with aromas of ripe red plums, cherries and blackberries on offer. The palate has a plush, refined and suave array of very attractive, fine but dense tannins and the rich...
