YVES BECK : 91-93 / 100
MATTHIEU DOUMENGE - TERRE DE VINS : 91 - 92 / 100
On plonge tout de suite dans un nez très mur à point, où le fruit noir se pare de légères notes mentholées, Le trio cabernet francs (15%), cabernet sauvignon (3%) et malbec (2%) qui complète le merlot joue bien son rôle dans la définition du vin, la bouche est droite, campée sur une bonne structure, L'ensemble est digeste et sera une très bonne bouteille à boire.
MARKUS DEL MONEGO - TASTED : 91 / 100
Intense purple colour with violet hue and blackcore. Intense nose with ripe fruit, dark berries and plums, hints of prunes and leather as well as ginger bread spices in the background. On the palate well structured with ripe yet firm tannins, juicy fruit, almost full-bodied character with very good length.
ADRIAN VAN VELSEN : 90-92 / 100
Noch vom Ausbau geprägte Nase, deutlich Holz, dahinter eine würzige Note, reife Frucht, florale Töne. Im Gaumen dicht, noch ungestüm, mit Rasse und Kraft, die Säure wirkt animierend, keinerlei Alkoholüberhang, die Gerbstoffe noch sehr markant. Feines, fruchtiges Finale mit Pfefferwürze. Gelungen. 2026-2038

PETER MOSER - FALSTAFF 90 / 100
Opaque ruby core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicate aromas of wood spices, vanilla and ripe plums, with a touch of nougat and cloves. Juicy, finered cherries, integrated tannins, freshly structured with lemon citrus on the finish.
BERNARD BURTSCHY : 89 - 90 / 100
CHRIS KISACK - THE WINE DOCTOR : 88 - 90 / 100
Perhaps the best-known property in the appellation, the 2021 from Thomas Dô Chi Nam and team presents a lightly saturated appearance in the glass, impressive for the vintage, and an attractive nose of crushed berries dressed with notes of mint and sage. The palate is fresh, bright, rather open and charming, with a modestly grained core of tannins at its heart, gently polished fruit, and some good grip. It dissociates slightly, falling into a slightly sappy and loosely composed finish, but otherwise this is showing rather well.
