94 points James Suckling: "Good depth on the nose, showing blackcurrants, graphite and a touch of fresh herbs and flowers. This shows obvious potential with its tight-grained tannins providing a muscular but complete structure to the full-bodied palate. Still, quite lively and al dente. Tightly wound, long and youthful in the finish. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. Drink from 2026. This would hold very well in the next eight to ten years. (12/18/24)"
92 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "(72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot). This is excellent, can't remember a more enjoyable Arsac. The quality of the tannins is extremely impressive, and this is one to sink into, a ton of rich brambled fruits, touch of austerity on the finish, good guts and bone structure, cocoa bean, rose petals, sage, has Margaux personality, along with savoury Cabernet cool blue fruits. Eric Boissenot consultant. 55% new oak for ageing. Alcohol 13.5%. Drink: 2025-2040. (9/20/24)"
92 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, discreet brightening on the rim. Delicate aromas of fresh strawberries, subtle tobacco, a hint of fine oak, inviting bouquet. Medium complexity, raspberries, vivid tannins, fresh acidity, chalky lemon finish, an uncomplicated, pleasurable food wine. (8/11/23)"
91 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Château d'Arsac has a well-defined and focused bouquet. The oak is well integrated, allowing the blackberry, cedar and violet notes to flourish. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, graphite-infused black fruit tones and an elegant finish that is uncommon at this level for this vintage. This is a well-crafted and satisfying Margaux that should give 15 or more years of pleasure. Drink: 2027-2050. (Feb 2025)"
91 points Georgina Hindle (Decanter): "Clean and clear, a lovely crystalline purity to this, fleshy and chewy but still strict and tense with firm, grippy and wet stone textured tannins that give the frame and the slightly serious nature. Nothing harsh, just lean and focussed but with lovely underlying sweet and sour strawberry acidity and juiciness so once the tannins settle this should make for lovely drinking. HVE certified. Tasted twice. 3.68pH. Harvest: Merlot 26 September, Cabernet Sauvignon 4 - 11 October. Drinking Window: 2025-2036. (4/25/23)"
90 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "Truffle, underbrush, flowers, and red cherries open the nose. Medium-bodied, fresh, and lively, the crisp finish lingers with a touch of bitter cocoa in the end note. Drink from 2026-2040. (Mar 2025)"
