James Suckling 95pt

Pure and beautiful aromas of blueberries and dark chocolate that follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a silky finish. Very fine indeed. Wonderful length to this. Best wines in years from here.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

Continuing the great improvements at this estate, this 2010 is firm and solidly tannic, showing severity. As a contrast, it also shows acidity and black currant fruits that offer weight and richness. A balanced wine with a good future.

Wine Spectator 90pt

Solid, with a saturated core of plum, anise and blackberry cloaked in ganache and melted licorice snap notes. Still has some toast to soak up on the finish, but the stuffing is there. This should evolve into a tobacco-filled version when mature. Best from 2015 through 2024

Tasting notes

This wine very elegant blackish color boasts all the characteristics of a great vintage. The bouquet is appealing On the palate the explosion of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry flavors combined with light, pleasantly silky tannins. The overall feel is smooth and fruity. The finesse of the Cabernets and Merlots the roundness of the ounce again turn out to be perfectly complementary. This is a great, racy wine, a perfect expression of deep-icts of gravel and a wine terroir That offers a new dimension.
