Wine Enthusiast (92)91-93 Dark tannins, polished herbal fruit, great acidity, a wine that promises much for the future. It has freshness as well as weight. |

Decanter (92)This is one of the more finessed and well expressed examples of powerful cassis and blackberry fruits in 2017. I love the sense of energy and juice that sits beneath the fruit - again, not something that you are seeing everywhere. A good job from Olivier, even if it hasn't quite reached the heights of 2015 and 2016. Very satisfying, and should develop nicely over next few years. |

Wine Enthusiast (94-96)Barrel Sample. This is a firmly structured wine with powerful tannins that contrast with the intense acidity and ripe black-currant flavor. It has a smoky edge and a hint of pepper. The future is good for this wine. |

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. |

James Suckling (92-93)Tangy and flavorful with lemon-rind and cooked-apple aromas and flavors. It’s tight and lively with plenty of fruit and intensity. Consistently outstanding. |

Jancis Robinson (17)Very rich, ripe and broad on the nose. Racy and lively. Great energy here. Bravo! Good balance of interesting fruit and zest. Hint of smokiness. |
