Pearson's Notes

James Suckling 89-90 Points:
I like the blueberry, menthol and mineral character, with full body, and silky, refined tannins. Tiny bit short.

Wine Spectator - 89-92 points

Very pure, with a lovely, supple feel to the structure and long, unadorned red currant, raspberry and cherry fruit that sails along. Shows flickers of warm stone and spice on the finish.

Wine Advocate - 91-93 points

2010: Abundant minerality, spicy unsmoked cigar tobacco and red and black currant characteristics emerge from this medium to full-bodied Pessac-Leognan. Displaying more power, depth, muscle and tannin than usual, this opaque ruby/purple-hued 2010 should evolve for 20-25 years.
