  "Less intense than the 2010 vintage, but there are still rich dark cassis and bilberry notes on offer, with blonde tobacco and walnut edging. Another wine that suggests it's time to reassess the 2011 vintage. It was pretty much the driest year on record, but still managed a 39hl/ha yield. A little closed right now, this is not the most approachable 2011 wine that I have tasted recently, however there's a lovely delicacy and elegance to the tannins, with lashings of St-Julien character. 4% Cabernet Franc makes up the blend. Matured in 50% new oak. Drinking Window 2020 - 2040"

  "This impressive wine follows a straight line of structure, acidity, firm tannins and dark black fruits. The combination is a wine with depth, ripeness and an edge of austerity that demands aging. Drink from 2018."

  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, zartes Kirschkonfit, tabakig, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, etwas verhalten. Mittlerer Körper, blättrige Würze, lebendiger Säurebogen, gute Komplexität, feste Tannine, dunkle Mineralik im Abgang, zeigt Länge und Frische, braucht noch Zeit, verfügt über gute Anlagen."

  Wine Spectator
  "A textbook St.-Julien, offering tightly layered dark plum, currant and blackberry fruit, with a strong graphite spine and dark tar and mouthwatering pastis notes on the finish. A well-built, confident wine. Best from 2017 through 2027."

  "An attractive 2011 with lots of blackberry, hazelnut and walnut character. Medium to full body with chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Better in 2017."
