Andrew Jefford | Dark, dense black-red. Fresh yet firm scents, with some classic Pauillac beefiness: a very complete, enticing aromatic profile, and one that no classed-growth proprietor would be ashamed of. The fruits here have breed and inner resource and the cellar work is skilful. Deep, pure, and alluring on the palate, and perfectly poised between the freshness and gleam of the fruits and the deeper textural wealth and general beefiness that is the Pauillac birthright. An outstanding Pibran, the best I have ever tasted, just begging for a decade in the cellar. | 92

Michael Schuster | Dense but closed, gravel and blackcurrant Cabernet; rich, medium- to full-bodied wine, fresh in acidity, finely firm in tannin; sweetly ripe in flavor, rich and juicy within its firm frame, with a very nice complexity, scope, and persistence. A refined and complete Pibran. 2028–36+. | 90
