Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

From world renown biodynamic vigneron and winemaker, Gérard Bertrand, Heritage An 1152 Cahors (2020) is a broody, fully bodied and seductively smooth Malbec, savoury and ultra-balanced with layers of blueberry, ripe dark fruits, vanilla, subtle dark spices, fresh acidity, firm but approachable fine-grained tannins with a ripe blueberry medium-plus-length finish. So smooth and delicious, enjoy it now through 2028. If having tonight, do decant it for one hour prior to pouring it with a juicy filet mignon. Tasted February 2024.

An 1152 is part of Gérard Bertrand's "Heritage" collection and history of terroirs of the South of France. "The year 1152, marked a historic union between France and England. Henry Plantagenet, future king of England, opens the doors of London to the whole world."

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Rich, smooth, and flavourful, this is a lovely Malbec, with aromas of plum, blueberry, and black cherry, with hints of black pepper and a bit of vanilla. Full bodied with firm, dry tannins which have loosened up after the wine was opened. On the palate the fruit notes are rich and rounded, with hints of vanilla, cedar, and spice on the finish. Enjoy with a grilled steak.
