Decanter (93)Lovely nose of sour cherry, caramel, roses and blackcurrants; so expressive. Dense and chewy fruit on the palate - this has a succulence and sweet softness which is appealing. It's lightly framed, not dense or weighty but has excellent clarity and precision: clear, linear with tension and drive. It's focused and all in one stream right now but I love the juiciness, the texture and the minerality. Will be good to see how the ageing expands the palate. A clear Pessac success in the vintage. |

The palate is very fresh on the entry with lime cordial, kiwi fruit and a touch of lemongrass, less shrill than it showed at primeur but with an engaging, lip-smacking salinité on the persistent finish. Excellent white Pessac-Léognan. |

Wine Advocate (91-93)Very deep purple-black colored, the 2020 Olivier offers vibrant notions of wild blueberries, blackberry preserves and cassis, plus hints of clove oil, cinnamon stick and tree bark, with a waft of dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly played with soft tannins and seamless freshness supporting the restrained black and blue fruit flavors, finishing earthy. |

Decanter (93)Lovely nose of sour cherry, caramel, roses and blackcurrants; so expressive. Dense and chewy fruit on the palate - this has a succulence and sweet softness which is appealing. It's lightly framed, not dense or weighty but has excellent clarity and precision: clear, linear with tension and drive. It's focused and all in one stream right now but I love the juiciness, the texture and the minerality. Will be good to see how the ageing expands the palate. A clear Pessac success in the vintage. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)Black cherries, smoked earth, leather, and graphite all emerge from the 2022 Château Olivier, a concentrated, rich, medium to full-bodied 2022 that has building tannins, solid mid-palate depth and richness, and a great finish. Give it a few years for the tannins to round into form, and this beauty will cruise over the following 15-20 years. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (87-90)Pale straw yellow. Subdued aromas and flavors of fresh citrus fruit, underripe apricot, vanilla and sage, plus a complicating saline nuance. Finishes moderately persistent, with a slightly diffuse quality. This will need to put on weight and gain in complexity to warrant a higher rating, but it's certainly clean and precise. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2014 Olivier Blanc has retained that attractive mineral-drenched bouquet that I enjoyed so much out of barrel: fine delineation and a sense of energy bursting from the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry with lime cordial, kiwi fruit and a touch of lemongrass, less shrill than it showed at primeur but with an engaging, lip-smacking salinité on the persistent finish. Excellent white Pessac-Léognan. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2015 Olivier Blanc has a fragrant bouquet of fresh pear, red apple and light lanolin aromas soaring from the glass. The palate is very appley on the entry: Granny Smith apples and a touch of pear segue into a ginger-tinged second half that fans out nicely. Lacks a little sophistication but is well-crafted. One of the better white Oliviers that I have tasted in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. |

Wine Enthusiast (94)As with its red, the white wine from this chateau continues to improve. Balanced and ripe, with bright, forward fruit, this wine has so much freshness while at the same time fruity generosity. With notes of spice, a pleasant mineral texture and final burst of acidity, this is a wine for aging. |
