93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2005 Rouget is laced with the essence of sweet red berry fruit, mocha, dried flowers, mint and worn-in leather. Bright and floral, with savory accents from the Cabernet Franc, Rouget is a super-attractive Pomerol to drink now and over the next decade. Drink: 2021-2030. (Apr 2021)"
93 points Panos Kakaviatos (Decanter): "I liked this blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc just as much as the 2015. The lower alcohol here lends freshness, with the ripe Cabernet Franc grapes yielding a nice floral aspect. Not over-extracted, this is a rather classic style. A true Pomerol: bravo! Drinking Window: 2018-2030. (9/30/18)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "There's beautiful aromas of violet and other flowers, with fruity undertones. Full-bodied, with round, polished tannins that caress the palate. Long and very balanced. Harmonious. Best after 2012. (3/31/08)"
