Drink 0-0, Neal Martin, May 2026

The 2025 Brown has a ripe and opulent nose; indeed, one sample was dangerously close to volatility, another better and fresher. The palate is smooth and rounded, soft in terms of texture, peppery in style, with an easy-drinking finish. I’m not quite sure if this is the best representation of this wine and, given the quality of the white, I will retaste this in bottle.

Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2028-2043, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2026

The 2025 Brown is one of the under-the-radar gems of the vintage. Blue-toned fruit, gravel, new leather, plum and crème de cassis unfurl in a radiant, exceptionally well-balanced Merlot. Supple contours wrap around the long, persistent finish.
