A linear, chewy red with pretty, creamy tannins and delicious berry, walnut and cedar character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tight tannins and a medium finish. Give it two or three years to come together. Drinking range: 2023 - Rating: 91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Mar 2021)
Black as the ace of spades. Dark and stony/dusty on the nose but with plenty of fresh cassis. Tannins are pretty dry although they are finely layered rather than being a solid block. Quite refined on the finish though not very expressive now and a little bit sour on the finish. Drinking range: 2025 - 2030 Rating: 15.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2019)
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 La Tour de By opens with cedary/oak-inspired notes giving way to a core of red and black currant preserves, mulberries and boysenberries with suggestions of wild sage and charcuterie. Full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, it has a firm, grainy frame and seamless freshness lifting the muscular fruit to a long finish. Rating: 87-89 Lisa Perrotti-Brown, RobertParker.com (Apr 2019)

The 2019 Clos Manou is superb. Dense, plush and explosive, the 2019 is packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, spices, new leather and licorice. This extroverted Médoc is super plush.
