"Offers powerful dark cherry, black fruit and herbal aromas and flavors of depth and complexity. Overall, the wine has a harmonious, authoritative character."

"Rich tropical fruit, nectarine, orange blossom, spices and French oak burst from 2010 Chablis Bouguerots. Once again, the Bouguerots comes across as big and broad shouldered, with considerable intensity, richness and depth. This is a decidedly powerful, ripe wine that also shows significant oak influence from the 100% vinification and aging in oak."

"Ruby colour with purple hues and good intensity. Complex aromas of ripe fruits as cherries, black cherries and plums. Vanilla, leather, tobacco and spices include black pepper and paprika. Full-bodied, sweet tannins, rich red wine with good balance and complexity. Long lingering finish."

"Due to its individual slatestone notes it is straight ahead and complex at the same time. Ripe tropical fruits, like mango, pineapple and papaya form the first impression. The sweetness is well balanced by a fine acidity and gives the wine a good mouthfeel."

"Classic black raspberry, black cherry, garrigue, and lavender notes hit the palate with considerable authority. The Syrah component provides a slightly deeper purple hue to the color than is apparent in some other vintages. The extra level of concentration due to the tiny yields has resulted in a full-bodied, rich wine with super purity. It is already accessible, and should keep for 10-15 years." -Robert Parker
