94 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "Grilled raspberry, smoky, soft brambled hedgerow fruits, good quality, highlights the gourmet edge of 2014 but a little softer overall tjhan vintages on either side. Appealing and unfussy, still with the tannic grip that Sociando does so well. 47hl/h yield, last year with Vincent Faure as director. 100% new oak, unfiltered and unfined, 77ha in production. (06/18/24)."
92-94 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim, very attractive black berry fruit of cassis and blueberries, inviting fruit expression, candied orange zest. Juicy, elegant, fine blackberry fruit, integrated tannins, mineral and persistent, very good length, good ageing potential. (05/30/16)."
93 points Decanter: "'Grand cru level wine,' remarked fellow taster Stéphan Maure of Vino Strada. Sumptuous nose of cedar and ripe fruit. A fresh attack; ripe palate with notes of cocoa powder, cassis and dark plum. Long finish with agreeable bitterness that accentuates the length. Drink: 2020-2035. Alcohol 13.5%. Drinking Window: 2020-2035. (May 2018)"
93 points James Suckling: "Some graphite and toasted spicy fruits, which create an impressive opening. Iodine and dark berries follow. The palate has a similarly spicy start, which builds waves of fine, ripe tannins that hold impressively fresh and deep. Try from 2022. (1/22/18)."
