Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red. Forceful, knife-and-fork fruits though in secondary style, as is typical for Pessac, with a sense of the forest lurking nearby; attractive, if a little less poised than the best of its peers. A cascade of soundly structured fruit: very satisfying drinking here. | 88

Michael Schuster | Light, cedar-oak touched nose; very nicely balanced medium-full wine, fresh and with a moderately firm tannin; sweetly, freshly ripe, a touch marked by its oak dryness at the moment, medium depth, but with a very good length of flavor and persistence. Attractive and stylish La Garde. 2024–34+. | 90
