83-85/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Offers faint notes of dried cranberries and strawberries with wafts of tobacco leaf, dried sage, and damp soil. The light to medium-bodied palate is lean and chewy with just enough freshness and a short finish.

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 Kirwan is quite understated and discreet on the nose, opening up with blackberry, raspberry and crushed violet scents. The oak is neatly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and juicy, with pliant tannins, more on the mid-palate than some of its peers and a harmonious, thoroughly enjoyable finish. This is classy. Kirwan looks as if it has raised its game in recent vintages and this bodes well for the future. Bravo!

91/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Attractive leafy aromatics, juicy and chalky, this is tasty, old school, charming. These are not generous Cabernets but they have finesse and balance. Earlier drinking than recent vintages at La Lagune, this provides a great window into the skilful winemaking going on at this dynamic estate, owned by Caroline Frey. Harvest 23 September to 9 October. 50% new oak. 3.4 pH.
