Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The wine is not as powerful as one might expect, given the owners and winemaking team, coming in at 14.3. A sensational, rather massive example for a 2010, this opaque purple wine offers up notes of subtle barbecue smoke, blackberry and cassis as well as a hints of lead pencil shavings and a confiture of red and black fruits in the mouth. Full-bodied, unctuously textured and excruciatingly tannic, this is a big, blockbuster style of wine meant for 10-50+ years of cellaring. This miniature 5-acre vineyard, beautifully situated in St.-Emilion, has produced a blend of 90 Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Yields were 24 hectoliters per hectare. 95+ Points
