Decanter – 18.63 / ***** (July 2011)
St Emilion Award – 5 stars wine
Very attractive, dark, scented cassis and cherry fruit. Lean, mint, coffee, and licorice bouquet. Delicious with wonderful freshness and mineral intensity. Seductive, pure, and very fine with an elegant and very long, powerful finish.
Drink: 2015–2025

Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010 – *** (Coup de Cœur)
The Bécot brothers earn their fourth consecutive "Coup de Cœur" (seventh overall). This wine is described as perfection at every stage of tasting.
Powerful nose of ripe grapes, fresh wood, cherry, and prune, with a minty touch. The palate is fresh, tender, and fleshy, supported by dense and promising tannins. Complex and refined, best enjoyed with simple dishes like entrecôte with porcini—but not before 3 to 5 years.

Top 100 by Andreas Larsson – Best Sommelier in the World
Still youthful nose with vanilla notes. Dense, pleasant, and rich concentration on the palate with ripe fruit, firm and balanced tannic structure. Excellent length with a touch of wood and spice on the finish. A wine made to age for many years.
