Jane Anson: 93/100
Medium plus intensity, ruby reflections, touch of gunsmoke reduction then opens to Pessac Léognan balance and finesse with smoked clove notes, blueberry fruits with rose stem austerity, but overall this is well constructed with inky damson and cassis fruits. 45hl/ha yield.

The 2023 Olivier is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a fair bit of swirling and coaxing to move beyond the initial wave of oaky notes, eventually revealing a core of blackberry pie, crème de cassis, and black truffles, plus hints of rosemary and clove oil. The medium-bodied palate is lightly chewy and refreshing, with plenty of black fruit to back up the structure and a savory finish.
