Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux 2010 tasting. The Labegorce 2010 has a very concentrated bouquet with lush blackberries, loganberry and well-integrated oak that lends this a high quality modern sheen. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky smooth entry, well judged acidity and a fleshy, slightly savoury finish with better complexity than its peers. Score: 90 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 31 March 2014 |

The Labegorce 2010 has a ripe, opulent bouquet of macerated dark cherries, cassis and boysenberry with moderate definition. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins, good acidity and tension towards the finish with dark cherry, cedar and blueberry. Nice focus and poise. Excellent. Tasted April 2011. Score: 90 - 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 19 April 2011 |

Very aromatic with blueberry, mineral and dried mint. Full body, with super velvety texture with wonderful fruit and a balanced finish. Beautiful tannins. So wonderful to taste now but another three or four years will be better. Try in 2016. Score: 93 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2016+ 16 February 2013 |

A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this wine exhibits sweet tannin, medium body and blue and black fruits intermixed with underbrush, licorice, cedar and spice box in a medium-bodied, elegant style with moderate tannin. Forget it for several years and Drink it over the following decade. Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2023 01 February 2013 |

This is the debut vintage for consultant Claude Gros and the quality is the finest I have ever tasted from this estate. (Beginning in 2009, the neighboring estate of Labegorce Zede was incorporated into Labegorce.) Made from a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that hit 14% natural alcohol, this sleeper of the vintage reveals a dense purple color in addition to abundant notes of charcoal, spring flowers, black currants and subtle smoky barrique in the background. Medium to full-bodied and ripe with sweet tannin, this beauty should drink nicely for a decade or more. Score: 88 - 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011 |

So deep and black and dense! Sweet and thick and creamy. Very flattering indeed but a bit extreme. Demanding, rather jagged tannins on the end. Some tarriness. Very marked tannins. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2030 18 April 2011 |

Deep, robust, slightly leathery cassis fruit, good freshness and clarity that gives lift to the natural weight, very satisfying wine. Score: 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2015-2025 01 April 2011 |

A dark, plummy, richly fruited style, with black currant, warm fig sauce and dark currant character wrapped with lush dark cocoa and espresso notes, followed by a big, toasty finish. Shows more width than length right now, but there's plenty of stuffing. Should stretch out more. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 31 March 2011 |
