88-90/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2025 Mauvesin Barton is matured in one-third new oak. It has a fairly straightforward bouquet with black plum and a light pressed flower note. It just needs a tad more energy. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a fine, cohesive middle and an edgy, tobacco-tinged finish. Just a bit on the rustic side and needing a tad more precision.

Vibrant plum colour, medium intensity, they really do seem to have got into the stride of things at Mauvesin Barton, and although this is a little sharp in the acidity there is plentiful fragrant floral character and a juicy signoff.
