Critic reviews
"Perfumed and elegant, the 2019 de Fieuzal wafts from the glass with aromas of blackberries, licorice, coniferous forest floor and incense. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with a pretty core of fruit, powdery tannin and a saline finish, it's a seamless, vibrant Pessac that—like its white counterpart—reflects the progress this 80-hectare Pessac-Léognan estate is making. It's a sleeper of the vintage."
William Kelley, April 2022, RobertParker.com
"The 2019 Château de Fieuzal has a complex nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, crushed stone and a touch of black truffle. Serious. The palate is beautifully balanced with firm, quite "solid" tannins, a Pessac-Léognan built for the long-term with a sapid, almost briny finish. This is the best de Fieizal in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting."

"Just like it was from barrel, the 2019 Siran is a powerful, opulent wine. Raspberry jam, blood orange, mint, wild flowers and rose petal are all amplified in this decidedly heady, sumptuous Margaux. There's not a ton of subtlety, but, then again, who cares? Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, February 2022, Vinous.com
"Love the soft grilled cedar notes on the opening beats, coming in waves and drawing you in. Sweet damson and blackberry on the palate, elegant, pared back, fresh acidities, touches of earth, black truffle, liquorice and cocoa bean, gentle but compelling. Subtle persistency, the pulses of flavour keep on coming without overwhelming the palate. Excellent stuff from the Quinn family and director Stephen Carrier. Consultant Thomas Duclos."

"Tasted blind. Very sweet, ripe black-cherry nose. Just lacks a bit of zip, with the acidity sticking out."
