88-90/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2023 Mauvesin Barton is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherries, strawberry preserves, and cranberries spill from the glass, followed by hints of mint tea, dried Provence herbs, and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and well-sustained, with bright red berry flavors and textured grainy tannins, finishing with a floral lift. The blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc.

92/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Inky ruby colour, another vintage that underlines how impressively Mauvesin Barton has been doing over the past few years. Delivers brambled blackberry fruit and balanced but clear toasted spices, austere on the finish, this heads towards closing in, but keeps the fruit on the savory side, and you feel that the Barton family's experiece means they can clearly identify what claret lovers expect from Moulis and zeroed in on it. Harvest September 14 to 26, 33% new oak, 30hl/h yields. Tasted twice.

89-91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Mauvesin Barton has an attractive bouquet with black plum, cassis and light floral scents. This is nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and modest weight, but the oak is a little conspicuous toward the finish. It doesn't quite have the ambition or complexity of the 2022, though it represents a fine, perhaps earlier-drinking Moulis-en-Médoc.

87-88/100Yohan Castaing,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Mauvesin Barton shows a dark, somber character with aromas of licorice, smoke and spices. Medium-bodied, rich and firm, it's tannic and somewhat austere.
