92-93 points James Suckling: "This is a wine that shows lots of chocolate, tobacco and currants. Full body, with velvety tannins and a long finish. All there. (4/20/11)"
92 points Robert Parker: "From Helene Garcin, this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot displays classic tobacco leaf and smoky barbecue notes along with rich black currants and crushed rocks in a medium to full-bodied, seductive, attractively up-front style. Some Asian plum sauce is also noticeable in this complex, evolved and delicious wine, which can be drunk over the next 10-15 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. Drink 2013-2028. (2/27/13)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Offers lush fruit, with dark raspberry and boysenberry notes, good, graphite-laced structure and bright acidity weaving throughout. The long, smoldering finish features an appealing licorice snap and violet profile. (3/31/13)"
92 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "Tasted at the Chateau Barde Haut in Saint Emilion. The 2010 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot with around 40 to 45% new oak. The nose is mild-mannered, nicely defined, polite Pessac you might say, with well-behaved blackberry, raspberry and cedar aromas that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It is very classic in style, very well balanced with a fresh and very focused finish. One of the most elegant Haut-Bergey wines to date. Tasted November 2012. (3/30/13)"
92 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "One of the top values from Pessac Leognan offers aromas of espresso, tobacco, black raspberry and smoke. The smooth, soft textures, forward personality and fresh, ripe berries make this already pleasurable to drink, and with some bottle age, it’s going to get even better. (May 2013)"
90-92 points Wine Enthusiast: "A spicy, aromatic wine that shows powerful wood character as well as fruit tannins. The style is dark, firmly tannic, powerful, very dense. (Jun 2011)"
