95 points Luis Gutierrez (Wine Advocate): "The super-classical 2014 Las Notas de Jean Claude is a superb red blend of 84% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot from their vineyard in San Pablo in the Uco Valley at some 1,350 meters in altitude. This is taken from a specific plot planted 19 years ago and selected by consultant Jean-Claude Berrouet of Petrus fame. This wine is all about elegance, balance and finesse and goes well beyond the varieties, which play a secondary role. The palate reveals very fine tannins and superb acidity; it's ripe and full of flavors and nuance. Beautiful. 13,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2016.. (3/31/21)"
94 points James Suckling: "Juicy and very polished with totally resolved tannins that are integrated into the wine, giving it a savory and delicious mouth feel. Tangy and fresh, too. Merlot with a touch of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Drink and enjoy. (4/2/20)"
