- 96 Punkte und "Cellar Selection" WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: "Despite its weight, this is a well-crafted wine. It combines richness with sophisticated tannins, dense black fruits and considerable potential. Ripe berry flavors give depth. Drink this wine from 2026."
- 95 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2018 Malartic Lagravière is every bit as compelling as it was en primeur. Inky dark fruit, dried herbs, licorice, lavender and chocolate are all kicked up in this sumptuous Pessac-Léognan. Soft curves and silky tannins add to the wine's considerable appeal. The 2018 is undeniably flashy and alluring, I loved it.“
- 95 Punkte DECANTER, Jane Anson: "This remains a little hidden and distant at this point in time, but there are some gorgeous rich liquorice and cassis fruits here, and the texture stands out for its silkiness. Clearly a very good wine, which opens up slowly and carefully. Classic but with depth and grip, continuing a run of successful vintages at Malartic. Last vintage before they take on Eric Boissenot as consultant. 2% Petit verdot makes up the blend, with 70% new oak for ageing. Drinking Window 2026 – 2042" 
- 17,5 Punkte VINUM, Arrivage: „Erstklassige Ausbaunoten; kompakter Ansatz, grosse Dichte und Rasse, hochkarätiges, nobles Tannin mit Mineralität und Frische, langer, fruchtiger, vom Tannin und nicht vom Alkohol geprägter Ausklang: hervorragend gemacht. 2026-2040.“
