Neal Martin (Vinous): 95 Points
The 2020 Malartic-Lagraviere, which represents just 40% of the total production, was cropped at 26hL/ha. It has a very delineated nose with intense blackberry, raspberry, sous-bois and incense aromas that just "sing" of Pessac-Leognan. The palate is medium bodied, finely-knit tannins, fresh and vibrant, with beguiling purity. Harmonious and silky smooth, it belies the depth and complexity of this marvelous Malartic. This is superb and it will mature beautifully in bottle.
Vinous Media: 95 Points
The 2020 Malartic Lagraviere is fabulous. Dark, ample and explosive, the 2020 offers an enticing melange of dark fruit, lavendar, spice and licorice. Even with all of its obvious size, the 2020 retains terrific freshness and plenty of delineation.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Aromas of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and spices introduce the 2020 Malartic Lagravière, a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless wine with a deep core of fruit, polished tannins and succulent acids. This nicely balanced, suave and flavorful Pessac will offer a broad drinking window.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Ripe and plush, with a light frame of sweet toast gently guiding the core of cassis and plum puree along, while subtle iron and red tea notes peek in. Nicely focused for the vintage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2034. 5,800 cases made.
