92-93 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Saturated violet. An expressive bouquet evokes black and blue fruits and smoky bacon, along with suggestions of olive and pipe tobacco. Appealingly sweet, smoke- and spice-accented blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors show fine delineation and are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. A smoky mineral nuance builds with air and carries through a long, youthfully gripping finish that echoes the olive and spice notes. (Dec 2022)"

90 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "The firm acidity and tannins are a touch rough-and-ready here. A little leaner than in recent years, but still with that classic Clape structure, if not terribly long on the finish. Drinking Window: 2023-2026. (Oct 2022)"

90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône brings more structure but has similar wild dark fruits, pepper, game, and iron notes in a medium-bodied package. It too is delicious."
