Tasting Notes

Robert Parker

Score: 87-90 / 100 Robert Parker

2010: This property, which has been on a qualitative roll, is one of the largest estates in Fronsac, and their wines are both easily found and fairly priced. The deep ruby/purple-hued 2010 cuts a larger, richer, more concentrated swath than usual without losing its elegant, rich, intensely fruity, lush style. A hedonist's dream, it is a heady red to enjoy over the next 6-10 years.

Wine Spectator

Score: 90-93 / 100

A bright, lively, floral style, with lots of raspberry and cherry fruit. A floral edge hangs on through the long, licorice-filled finish.

Bibendum

Score: 16 / 20

Spicy, liquorice and black cherry notes with lots of grippy tannins, high alcohol and mouth-watering acidity. Big and burly but offers a lot for wine for the cash.
