"Intense, perfumed aromas of cherry-cola, black raspberry and violet, with a suave mineral underpinning. Juicy and precise, with very good clarity and lift to its dark fruit and floral pastille flavors. Repeats the mineral and floral notes on the finish, which lingers with very good persistence. This is balanced to age."

"A deep garnet-purple color and notes of raspberry preserves, blackberries and black plums with hints of baking spices, violets and star anise. Medium to full-bodied, it is generously fruited in the mouth with medium-high acid, a medium level of velvety tannins and a long finish."

"Pale lemon-yellow in color, aromas of lemongrass and Mediterranean herbs complement undertones of white tea and minerality. On the palate, crisp, zesty acidity and mouth-filling flavors of citrus fruits push a long, refreshing finish."

"If you are a Beaujolais Fan this is the stuff. Previous vintages were gone in heartbeat, so don’t wait." - Gregory Fulham, Binny's Hyde Park

"A seductive, opulent, textured Margaux with notes of licorice, black fruits, asphalt, pen ink and truffle, this is one of the finest du Tertres ever made. It has a hedonistic quality to it, but at the same time, there is great class, precision and freshness to this full-bodied, concentrated, but very supple-textured wine. Drink it over the next 20+ years."-Robert Parker
