92 Robert Parker
A terrific, classic Graves with notes of subtle smoke, black raspberries, black currants, graphite and unsmoked cigar tobacco, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated de Fieuzal is far more generous and deep than most vintages of the past. There is also a wonderful freshness and length to this somewhat oversized de Fieuzal while it still maintains its elegance and class. Drink it over the next 20-25 years. <br/>
92 Wine Spectator
Dark and winey, with gorgeous flavors of mulled plum, black currant preserves and roasted fig laced with maduro tobacco, graphite and charcoal notes. The long finish features muscle and cut. Best from 2013 through 2021. 9,800 cases made. — JM
17 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Intensives Bouquet, würziger Caberent mit leicht tabakigem Ansatz, Cassisnoten, Leder, Rauch und ein zarter Hauch Eucalyptus zeigend was ihm einen gewissen Napa-Hauch verleiht. Viel blaubeerige Aromatik im recht fleischigen Gaumen, im Innern noch leicht mehlig, tendiert zu etwas wildem Cabernet und wird in seiner Reife dem 96er gleichen. Liegt auch sehr nahe dem 2000er und kann zu ihm aufschliessen. (17/20). 16: Er profitiert davon, dass er in einem (zu) heissen Jahrgang auf einem kühlen Terroir herangewachsen ist. So kommt er ziemlich frischfruchtig daher. Und er ist auch nicht so bullig wie andere. Macht schon bald Spass.
