James Suckling 92pt

Flamboyant red fruits and stone with some bark character. It's medium-bodied with a layered tannin character. Delicious and bright finish. Polished.

Wine Enthusiast 94pt

This estate with its moated castle is producing some very fine wines. This latest vintage shows both power and density with concentrated blackberry flavor from the ripe fruits. The wine will need time before maturity.

Wine Advocate 91-93pt

Very deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Olivier offers vibrant notions of wild blueberries, blackberry preserves and cassis, plus hints of clove oil, cinnamon stick and tree bark, with a waft of dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly played with soft tannins and seamless freshness supporting the restrained black and blue fruit flavors, finishing earthy.

Tasting notes

Dark purplish-red colour.
The complex nose is underpinned by ripe, crunchy fruit and spicy notes. Starts out straightforward on the palate with plenty of tannin and no aggressiveness whatsoever. The wine is wonderfully concentrated, with crunchy fruit aromas once again coming to the fore. The freshness contributes elegance, precision, and complexity, culminating in an impressively long finish.
