- 90-92 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: „Barrel Sample. This wine has powerful tannins pairing with the rich blackberry fruits that suggest some fine aging reinforced by the juicy black currant fruit from the majority Cabernet Sauvignon.“

- FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig, Nuancen von Edelholz, frische Pflaumen, schwarze Kirschen sind unterlegt. Mittlerer Körper, zart nach Vanille, rotbeeriger Touch, integrierte Tannine, salzig im Abgang, wirkt leichtfüßig.“

- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: „Raspberry, tobacco leaf and curling woodsmoke notes on the nose, a little severe right now but well constructed and the tannins will soften further over ageing. The elements are there for success, and it has plenty of Haut-Médoc character with its eucalyptus and cedar finish. Classic, old school, with real appeal, and for one of the picks of the appellation in this vintage.“

- JEB DUNNUCK: „The dense ruby/purple-hued 2020 Château Caronne Ste Gemme offers a more medium-bodied, balanced, nicely textured and fruited style that carries lots of cassis fruits as well as violets, leafy herbs, and a hint of graphite. Drink it over the coming 5-7 years, if not longer.“

- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Blackcurrants, blueberries, rosemary, chocolate and walnuts on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy tannins. Spice notes come through. Excellent weight and depth, with a lengthy finish, too. 61% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot and 5% petit verdot. Drink from 2025.“
