A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, this wine displays an opaque ruby/purple color and notes of damp earth, forest floor, white chocolate, sweet black currants and spice box. The wine is round, full-bodied and luscious, with 14.7% natural alcohol. Although meant for early consumption, it should easily last up to a decade or more. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2023 01 February 2013 |

A sleeper of the vintage, this offering from the owners of Cos d’Estournel is a high quality, impeccably well-made Bordeaux displaying a dark ruby/purple hue along with notes of chocolate, black currants, herbs and spice. Opulent, round and full-bodied, it achieved 14.7% natural alcohol and should drink well for 7-8 years. Score: 90 - 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011 |

Inky deep red. Pronounced aromas of currants and cloves jump out of the glass. Full-bodied, and thick with intense ripe black fruit, cocoa, coffee and vanilla compete before a tangy finish. A good modern wine. Score: 90 - 92 Albany Vintners, - 27 April 2011 |

The La Goulee is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot and it quite reticent on the nose at first but opening gradually with blackberry, cedar and black plum, struck through with a hint of graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, quite Margaux like and floral with a pretty but taut finish. This should mellow nicely by the time of bottling. Drink 2012- Tasted March 2011.

Lots of spicy black fruits, rich flavours but more controlled than in the best, a very good wine. Score: 16 - 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2014-2020 01 April 2011 |

Dark and winey, with lots of currant and red licorice fruit. Tangy and taut through the finish. Nicely focused. Tasted non-blind. Score: 88 - 91 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 31 March 2011 |
