Wine Spectator 88-90Antonio Galloni "The 2022 La Prade is packed with inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, menthol and cloves. In 2022, La Prade shows the natural intensity and solar richness of the year in spades. A kiss of sweet French oak lingers on a sumptuous finish framed by potent tannins. The blend is 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc."

Jane Anson "A hugely consistent, good value property from the Thienpont family, on soils where limestone is dominant and much closer to the surface than with sibling Puygueraud. Plenty of damson and black cherry fruits, with orange peel, pomegranate, salted cracker and juice. Has depth and clarity, 37hl/h yield, 25% new oak, plus 400l oak casks for ageing. A buy."
James Suckling 92-93
Plenty of fruit with well-integrated tannins. Medium body, bright acidity and a fresh and bright finish. Lots of crunchy fruit. Juicy.
