95 points James Suckling: "A wine with beautiful strawberry and chocolate with hints of pie crust. It's full-bodied with super integrated tannins and a long, long finish. Needs at least four to five years to really come together but so wonderful. Not the amazing 2009 but clearly outstanding. (2/2/13)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "This delivers a slightly chewy-edged feel, with charcoal and roasted alder hints holding sway over the core of steeped damson plum, black currant and anise notes. Shows grip through the finish, but stays long, featuring a lovely backdrop of tar and warm stone. The excellent range and drive should pay off in the cellar. Best from 2015 through 2030. (3/31/13)"
94 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening, dark berry fruit with a delicate leafy underlay, tobacco nuances, delicate hints of blackberries, mineral touch. Good complexity, ripe cherries, fine extract sweetness, well-integrated tannins, sticks well, delicate chocolate on the finish, harmonious, rather light-footed style, promising future, delicate Margaux style. (1/1/22)"
92-94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Sweet and juicy, a wine that has the potential to be delicious. The tannins are certainly prominent, although with good sweetness. Finally very structured. (Jun 2011)"
93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good deep ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur, flowers and cedary cigar box. A sweet, dense midweight with penetrating red cherry and floral flavors accented by sound acidity. Nothing thick or heavy about this wine but it possesses plenty of chewy depth. Boasts excellent early balance but has the firm, sweet tannins and finishing bite and length for at least a couple decades of positive evolution in bottle. (Jul 2013)"
