Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Notions of cherries, sweet berries and spices introduce the 2021 Le Comte de Malartic, a medium-bodied, supple and charming wine that's pretty and expressive. This will drink well young. Barrel Sample: 88 - 90

James Suckling
A rather simple delivery of Pessac-Leognan with cherry stones, plums and some raw spices. Medium body and juicy on the palate. The tannins are fresh and still creamy. Nothing metallic here.
