- 91 Punkte VINOUS Antonio Galloni: „The 2020 La Cour d'Argent is gorgeous, just as it was from barrel. If anything, élevage has brought about greater brightness. Red cherry fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and blood orange flesh out nicely, buffered by bright acids that add energy. 2023-2028.“
- 89-91 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: „I loved the 2020 Château De La Cour D'Argent and it should be outstanding. Giving up a great nose of cassis and black cherry fruits as well as leafy herb and violet notes, it’s medium-bodied and has a round, layered texture, notable complexity, and just lots of character. It should keep for 7-8 years.“
- DECANTER: „Intense plum, lined with touches of red apple, black cherry and subtle herbal aspects. There’s a sour tang to the mid-palate, lifting the riper fruit, with firm yet juicy tannins and good persistence. This would pair well with grilled meat seasoned with herbs and/or barbecued vegetables. HVE certified. Alc 14%.“
- 89-91 Punkte Jeff Leve WINE CELLAR INSIDER: „Round, soft, sweet and fruity, the wine is medium-bodied, forward and floral, with a blast of lush, juicy, fresh kirsch and thyme in the finish. This will be just great on release.“
- 90-92 Punkte Yves Beck: „Precise, well-defined bouquet with fine hints of blueberries and a hint of spices. Delicious and creamy on the palate where the wine shows a certain depth and a nice balance. Captain Jack S'Barraud persists and signs. He may be sailing on sight, but he can see damn well! Fruity and persistent finish. 2023-2033.“
