"This structured and firm wine shows bold tannins and rich black fruits. Spice from wood aging mingles with the juicy acidity and powerful texture. The edge of extraction does spoil the wine, but it could dissipate. Wait until 2024. Roger Voss"

"From a 128-acre vineyard close to Pauillac, this wine is solidly structured and dense in tannins, with touches of licorice. That indicates how young this wine is and how well it will age. Black-plum flavors are just waiting to merge with the structure. Drink from 2022. Roger Voss"

"(En Primeur) Noch stark vom Ausbau geprägt, wilde Blüten, Rosen, Veilchen, rote Früchte, dazu auch Röstnoten, wirkt noch sehr wild. Am Gaumen straff und knackig, rotfruchtig, Krischen, dunkle Johannisbeeren, Weichselkirschen, sehr saftige Säure, solide Struktur, die Gerbstoffe markant, teils etwas unreif wirkend. Im Abgang von mittler Länge, endet leicht bitter. Ein Wein der sich noch finden muss, kein idealer Zeitpunkt. 2022-2032, 17 vvPunkte, (85/100)"

"One of the estates in the Lapalu family stable, Liversan is to the west of Pauillac. In 2013 it has produced a light, fruity wine with attractive acidity and some dry tannins. Unfocused at this stage, it hopefully will develop a richer character as it matures. Drink from 2017."
