Score 89-91/100 · Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Cote de Baleau. 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, (the same portions the vineyard is planted in) make-up the blend. Licorice, 5 spice and black cherry scents open to a medium bodied, fennel and black cherry filled winish. Lovers of well-priced St. Emilion wine should be all over this wine. winecellarinsider.com

Score 84-86/100 · Neal Martin

This has a very ripe, opulent bouquet with lifted dark cherries, cassis and plum, quite prominent new oak but nice purity. The palate is sharp on the entry, chewy quite hard tannins with a rather abrupt finish. Tasted April 2011. Neal Martin erobertparker.com

Lightly savoury nose. Thick and finishes dry. Lots of concentration here for the long term. A slight lack of juice but sincerely meant. jancisrobinson.com
