DECANTER 97 POINTS: "The colour is deep in 2020, with ripe plum and cherry fruit scented with spice and minerals rolling from the glass on the initial attack. The texture on the palate is concentrated but never heavy, with tannic reserves that suggest that this will age for decades. Superb. One of the great treasures of the house, Clair has nearly one hectare here, planted in 1912. The fruit is is chilled after picking and the fermentation starts slowly, with about 30% whole clusters."
BURGHOUND 94-96 POINTS: "An even spicier nose reflects notes of red currant, plenty of floral influence and suggestions of earth and forest floor. There is good power and punch to the gorgeously textured broad-shouldered flavors that also terminate in a bitter fruit pit-infused finish that goes on and on. This is spectacular but note well that it is imposingly structured."
