Sweet and flashy. Lots of juice and well-polished, refreshing fruit. Just finishes a bit dry. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2020-2030 23 January 2014 |

Offers a plush feel, with warm cocoa and steeped blueberry notes leading the way, backed by dark, fleshy plum and blackberry fruit. A loamy edge takes over on the finish, revealing a flicker of tobacco in the background. Best from 2015 through 2025. 2,083 cases made. Score: 91 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2015-2025 31 March 2013 |

The wine is less complex than a Chevalier, but displays plenty of raspberries, red currants and sweet cherries as well as hints of vanilla, smoke and Christmas fruitcake. The blend is 45% Cabernet Franc, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, tipping the scales at 14.5% natural alcohol. Always elegant, stylish and medium-bodied, it should drink best between 2015 and 2030. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2030 01 February 2013 |

This attractive, finesse-styled wine exhibits a dark ruby/purple color as well as smoky blue fruits intermixed with a hint of menthol, medium body and an elegant, restrained style. The tannins are noticeable, but they are not terribly intense for a 2010. Give this one 2-3 years in the cellar and drink it over the following 10-15 years. Score: 88 - 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2028 01 May 2011 |
