95 points Decanter: "The 2010 vintage will be remembered for the earthquake that caused 33 miners to be trapped underground for over two months. Yet when it comes to wine, nature provided one of the most balanced years in recent memory. This Le Dix offers generous red fruits, spices and herbs, accompanied by a refreshing acidity that gives energy to the whole. It's still very young and just beginning to show its full potential. Drinking window 2019-2026 (Mar 2019)"

93 points & 'Editors' Choice' Wine Enthusiast: "For price and quality, Le Dix 2010 takes things to a high level. The nose on this Cabernet-led blend is full of violet, lilac, cassis and mild oak. The palate is multilayered and has a complex feel to it, while flavors of baked berry, cassis, coffee and marzipan finish with size and length. This is one of the most balanced and complete versions of Le Dix to date. Drink from 2014–2022. (Jul 2013)"

93 points James Suckling: "The aromas of this are complex with currants and blackberries with rose petal and hints of sweet tobacco. This is extremely balanced and harmonious with pretty fruit and hints of sandalwood and 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% carmenere, and 5% syrah. 18 months in barrel, mostly new oak. (Jun 2014)"

91 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "(85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% carmenere and 5% syrah): Inky ruby. Pungent smoke- and spice-accented aromas of cherry compote, redcurrant and cured tobacco, with suave vanilla and clove nuances gaining strength with air. Juicy and precise, offering intense red berry and bitter cherry flavors that take on sweetness with air. Dusty tannins come on late and add shape to the very long, sweet, incisive finish. This wine has the balance to age. (Feb 2014)"
