98 points James Suckling: "This is the Clos L’Eglise that takes it all to another level with incredible brightness and focus. Full-bodied yet racy and so long. It goes on for minutes with the violets, lavender and hot stones. Pomerol magic. (1/7/19)"
95+ points Jeb Dunnuck: "More mocha, espresso, and chocolate-laced dark fruits emerge from the 2010 Clos L'Eglise. It's more dense, powerful, and backward than the 2009, yet certainly in the qualitative ballpark. Full-bodied, locked and loaded, with ripe yet certainly present tannins, this is a great vintage that's just now starting to come around. I'd still give bottles another couple of years, but it's a stunning wine. Drink: 2022-2042. (10/7/20)"
95 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Clos l'Eglise leaps from the glass with vivacious baked raspberries, warm red and black plums and dried herbs notes plus wafts of pencil shavings and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has impressive energy with a firm line of chewy tannins and bold freshness, finishing with loads of zip in its step. Drink: 2020-2040. (Mar 2020)"
95 points Chris Kissack (Winedoctor): "This has more density and a more complex aromatic profile than the 2009 tasted alongside, with evocative and concentrated scents of black bean and currant, laced with a lightly crystalline fruit character, and a very fine, angelica purity. The palate is very convincing, very pure, very harmonious, bright, with plenty of fine-grained and velvety tannins, giving the palate a nicely balanced structure. It feels much more composed than the 2009, and it possess a more sinewy style, but it is still very impressive. A convincing wine, presenting a flourish of cinnamon spice in the finish, and a long, luxurious length. Very fine. From a 2018 Clos L’Église Retrospective tasting. (Jan 2018)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "Offers gorgeous mouthfeel, range of fruit and length. A velvety feel belies the dense structure buried here, while thoroughly enticing linzer torte, plum sauce and blackberry pâte de fruit flavors pump along, supported by singed spice, apple wood and ganache. Displays flesh, structure, definition and drive. One for the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2030. 1,250 cases made. (3/31/13)"
