Professional reviewers have offered high praise for this vintage. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 93, noting its "wonderfully aromatic" nose with "notes of crunchy black fruits, lilac petals, licorice, and candied peel." The review highlights the wine's "medium to full-bodied" nature with a "salivating core of ripe fruit" and "impressive length" on the finish. The review concludes, "Refined, yet oh-so generous, this is a standout for the lineup and comes highly recommended" (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 5/30/2024).

James Suckling was even more effusive, giving the wine an excellent score of 97. He describes it as "rich and velvety," with a "gracefulness and lightness of touch that takes your breath away." Suckling emphasizes the "stacks of black fruit aromas" and an "extremely long, structured finish that somehow manages to be totally engaging, almost charming." He also provides additional context, noting that the wine comes from the "Aux Caves site, which is south-facing and has a sandy granitic soil" and is "100% whole cluster" and "matured in used oak barrels from Burgundy for just under a year." He suggests that it can be enjoyed now or held for future consumption (jamessuckling.com, 3/7/2024).

Vinous offers a balanced perspective with a score of 91. Neal Martin praises the wine's nose for its "better delineation and more freshness" compared to other cuvées. He describes the palate as "well balanced with ripe tannins" and a "firm grip." While he acknowledges its power, he notes it is "arguably not a subtle Moulin-à-Vent," yet appreciates the "fine 'bite' on the finish" and the elegance it brings (Vinous, 4/1/2024).

Overall, the 2022 Domaine Anita Moulin-à-Vent Reine de Nuit is a well-received wine with notable aromatic complexity and a refined, yet generous profile.
