86-88/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2023 Moulin Riche is deep garnet-purple in color. It rolls out with ready-to-go notes of stewed black and red plums, mulberries, and raspberries plus hints of dried sage and crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is soft textured, with just enough black and red berry flavors and a crisp backbone, finishing on a lingering dried herbs note. The blend is 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 18% Petit Verdot, with pH 3.70 and TPI 69.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Great quality, and likely to be great value, wine, combining unfussy and fully ripe fruit with supple tannins and a dash of gourmet grilled cocoa bean edging. One to look out for. 3.7ph, Isabelle Danvin winemaker, Julien Viaud consultant, cellar master Didier Thormann. 52hl/h yields, biggest since 2004.

90-92/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Moulin Riche has a more intense nose than the Le Crock and the Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré, with black cherries commingling with iodine and subtle marine scents. The palate is well structured with fine backbone, displaying very pure black plum and raspberry fruit laced with white pepper. I think this will be open for business soon after bottling, but it has the substance to give a decade or more of drinking pleasure.

90-92/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Aromas of dark berries, cassis, orange zest and toasty oak introduce the 2023 Moulin Riche, a medium to full-bodied, layered and textural wine that's rich and concentrated, with a dense core of fruit and good integration at this early stage.
