DECANTER – 91/100 | « Slick, focussed and full of tannins and plush fruit, thos has got to be on of the best wines produced from this estate, along with the 2015. It’s worth bearing in mind that you’ll want to wait another few years before opening it, as it remains pretty strict in its struture. Contemporary in style. «
JAMES SUCKLING – 94/100 | « What a great nose this has ! The integration of black fruit and oak is spot on. Powerful, but with classical elegance, thanks to the polished tannins and the cool, mineral freshness that extends right through the long, refined finish. The best vintage ever for this Château. » Linear and very fine. Tight and fresh. Precise and beautiful. A serious young red. »
YVES BECK – 93/100 | « Poupre violacé. Le bouquet de La Garde révèle des notes de baies noires telles que mûres et myrtilles. Au palais la mise en bouche est friande et rafraichissante. Le vin est compact, doté de tannins parfaitement intégrés et d’une structure qui soutient bien l’expression fruitée. La garde parvient idéalement à assimiler puissance et race. De surcroît, il a un excellent potentiel, mais il risque d’être bu avant ! «
