2018 Chateau Citran Chateau Citran

James Suckling 92

Blackcurrant, chocolate, dried mint and licorice on the nose. It's medium-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Sleek and fresh. Better from 2024

Robert Parker - Lisa Perrotti-Brown 88-90

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Citran is a touch mute to begin, unfurling to offer very pretty notes of warm raspberries, fresh blackcurrants and kirsch over nuances of potpourri, chocolate box and crushed stones. Full-bodied with fantastic freshness lifting the intense red and black fruit layers, it has a firm, grainy frame and a long, perfumed finish. Nice!
