Robert Parker: Wine Advocate # 188. Apr 2010. Reviewer : Robert Parker. This stylish, elegant Haut-Medoc offers up aromas of spice box, black currants, and cherries in its medium-bodied, easy-going personality. Consume it over the next decade. (Tasted once.). Jancis Robinson: Dark crimson. Rather wild nose – very drying and uncomfortable to taste. Fades SO rapidly! Wine Spectator: Updated: April 15, 2010. A fruity and attractive young red, with plum and currant on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins. Clean red. —J.S. Decanter: Steven Spurrier, Decanter.com, 16 pts - "Dense red and dense black fruits, good supple broadness on the palate and good length. Drink 2013-18." Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, 89-91pts - "A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc 3% Petit Verdot, this has a fine crisp dark brambly nose: good definition with hints of black olive tapenade and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely, slightly “digestif” entry, good acidity, very well balanced with and fine, quite racy finish. Very fine. Tasted March 2010."
