Wine Enthusiast 93  92–94. Barrel Sample. Dense and packed with fruit, this is a rich wine. It does have structured tannins but it is the juicy fruit that really dominates. It is concentrated and will develop quickly, but then should hold well.

Wine Spectator 90 Renotation du 10.02.2019 - Well-focused, with cherry pit and iron edges giving this a slightly austere profile, while cassis and plum notes push for balance from the inside out.

The Wine Advocate 88-90 The 2016 Paloumey offers outgoing, quite plush blackberry, black tea and black olive scents on the nose, a touch of melted tar developing with aeration. I like the gutsy-style of this Haut-Médoc. The palate is medium-bodied with crushed blackberry, white pepper and a touch of citrus fruit. There is plenty of freshness here, although I would be seeking more cohesion and a touch more detail on the finish.

James Sucking 90 Renotation du 4.02.2019  Jancis Robinson 15.5

Decanter 88 This has some good ripe cassis fruits and careful extraction. The tannins are a touch rustic, but this is a pleasurable medium term drinking wine from a highly reliable and good quality Médoc Cru Bourgeois. Authentic and ripe fruit expression. Drinking Window 2022 - 2038 April 2017

The Wine Doctor 91 A really enticing nose here, all spiced red plum, with matchstick edges and praline nuances. The palate shows a very genuine substance at first, with a very pretty layer of redplum, red cherry and cranberry fruit, and lots of pepper and praline energy. This runs through into the finish where there is a flourish of ripe tannins. Overall this is fresh, medium-bodied, with a robust structure underneath. Good, and with that firm tannic frame it should evolve well. Octobre 2018

Yves Beck 91 Renotation du 18.01.2019 - 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc Pourpre moyen. Bouquet filigrane, un peu sur la réserve, qui se révèle au fil des minutes. On ressent bien l’élevage, mais d’une manière mesurée. Lentement le fruit gagne en intensité et je relève des notes...

Gault Millau 2019 15/20 Beau nez de mure, de myrtille avec de la complexité. Fraicheur et profondeur au programme, une jolie tension avec du croquant, du charnu. Un très beau Paloumey.
