Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2021 - 98 Points James Suckling - 98 Points "This is a plush, rich Cheval with blueberry and floral aromas and flavors. HInts of tar and fresh lavender. Full body. The depth and richness are impressive, as are the ripe yet fresh tannins. Very long and structured, yet controlled and in balance. This will be a great wine indeed. Release in September 2021. Drink after 2023."
Domaine de Baron'Arques - Bordeaux Blend Limoux AOC, Languedoc 2016 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Expert Winemaking at a Languedoc Price! Decanter - 97 Points! - "A seamless on-song Bordeaux style blend, yet with much more ripeness and juicy fruit gum character. Monumental depth of character which is enhanced by well-managed oak that is adroitly integrated with the silky tannins to give a fresh, elegant finish. Very complete, nuanced, long and beautifully balanced. Pitch-perfect now but still lots of life ahead. Excellent release."
