THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Offering hints of licorice with cherries and truffle, coupled with a viscous texture for the vintage, the wine is completed by its mocha and cherry finish. From a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 13.4% alcohol and is aging in 70% new, French oak. 91-93"

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "An unquestionable star of the vintage, this 18-acre vineyard is near Trotanoy, Latour a Pomerol and Clinet. The wine is made from 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Only 50% of the production made it into the Grand Vin label. Surprisingly it sports a lofty 13.4% natural alcohol. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, incense and camphor, the wine shows surprising depth, a reasonably broad, succulent mouthfeel and a luscious, impressive finish. This is atypically rich, juicy and succulent for a 2013. Drink it over the next decade or more."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Aromas of blackberry, tar and spice aromas and flavors. Full body, velvety tannins and a fresh finish. Juicy and enjoyable 2013. Drink or hold."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, schwarzer Kern, violette Reflexe, feinwürzig unterlegtes dunkles Beerenkonfit, feine Kräuterwürze, eher verhalten. Komplex, stoffig, feines Brombeerkonfit, gut integrierte Tannine, schokoladige Nuancen, harmonisch, reife Pflaumen im Abgang, zeigt eine gewisse Länge, hat Entwicklungspotenzial."
