96 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "A full wine, this comes from an estate at the top of its form. The balance between tannins and blackberry fruits is just right, offering density and richness. The wine will be ready from 2024. (3/1/20)." 95 points Decanter: "Kirwan’s 37ha of vines, in 45 parcels, sit on the Cantenac plateau, overlooking Margaux. After fermentation in concrete vats in the new winery – completed in 2016 – the 2017 wine (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot) was blended and aged for 20 months in barriques, 50% new. Georgie Hindle: Mouthwateringly fresh, just rippling with life and energy. Powerful and poised – such delicate florality – delivering a beguiling and seductive nose. Margaux polish and glamour. Vincenzo Arnese: With aromas of raspberry and red cherry, the nose is vibrant and has good personality. The palate is fresh, not overly tannic, with good integration of the oak. Shows purity and complexity. Andy Howard MW: Very appealing Margaux with bright, ripe black and red fruit on the palate, good concentration and some lifted floral notes. Tannins are a little grainy but will soften and integrate. Appetising, with a lovely freshness on the finish. Drink 2023-2040. (02/22)."
