The wine has received high praise from several reputable sources. William Kelley of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 95+, highlighting its "lovely bouquet of rose petal, red cherry, orange rind, and raw cocoa." Kelley describes the palate as "full-bodied, ample and layered," with a "deep core of concentrated and crunchy fruit," complemented by "bright acids" and a "long, tangy finish of wonderful purity." He considers it a "great Clos des Ducs in the making."

Burghound gives the wine a score of 96, emphasizing its impressive potential for aging. The reviewer notes that the wine's "graceful yet precise flavors brim with both underlying tension and minerality" and possess a "beguiling quality of inner mouth perfume." They believe this wine is "very clearly built-to-age," suggesting it may not reach its peak until it is 20 years old, indicating it could rival the esteemed 1999 and 2005 vintages.

Wine Spectator also awards this wine a high score of 95. The review mentions flavors of "black cherry, iron, and spice," supported by a "serious backbone of acidity and tannins." It notes that the wine "starts out silky and ends firm," needing time to integrate but remaining "fresh throughout." Wine Spectator suggests the best drinking window will be from 2023 through 2040.
