88-89 pts, Wine Advocate. "The 2021 Blason d'Issan exhibits aromas of sweet plums, licorice, wild berries, spices and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's lively and charming, concluding with a delicately herbal finish. It's a blend of 62% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot."
