2021 G d'Estournel 1,5 l - Magnum - Medoc AC

Decanter.com – 89 pts – GH: *Rose-touched sweet red berry fruit. Subtle and quite deep. This is more rich than overtly fresh and acidic. Unfussy, with concentrated blackcurrants and black cherries. Succulent, then crisp salinity coming through at the end, plus Cabernet markers of eucalyptus, mint and green peppercorns. Calm and gentle with rich, high-toned fruit. 25% new oak. Soft spicing from clove and cinnamon.* - 04/2022

Falstaff Magazin – 91 pts – PM: *Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Kräuterwürze, rote Kirschen, tabakige Nuancen, floraler Touch. Saftig, feine Kirschfrucht, frische Säurestruktur, ein Hauch von Nougat, mineralischer Nachhall, bereits gut entwickelt..* - 05/2022

Vinum Magazin – 15/20 pts: *Knackig und saftig, erfrischend, mit geschmeidigem Tannin.*

Vinous.com – (90-92) pts – AG: *The 2021 G d'Estournel is racy and expressive in the glass. Pretty floral and savory accents run through a core of dark Merlot fruit. This mid-weight, gracious Haut-Médoc is all charm. The 2021 is impeccably balanced from start to finish. Delicious.* - 04/2022

Thewinecellarinsider.com – (88-90) pts – JL: *Flowers, smoke, and red fruits are found in the nose and on the soft, supple, fresh, forward, already charming, fruity palate. This will drink well on release. Drink from 2023-2031.* - 05/2022
