Tasting note: This estate had hail damage in mid-May, and yields were dramatically lower. One-hundred percent Merlot with 15% natural alcohol, there are more rustic tannins in this wine than normally, as this is usually a silky sexpot of a wine, voluptuous and opulent. This is certainly deep and rich, but it is a bit leaner and more austere than usual. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, but I do have a few lingering reservations about the type of tannins in the wine. (90-93pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 90-93
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: Showing a dark color of good intensity with a fruity, creamy and toasted nose. This wine performs tender and mellow, with a taste of fresh fruit. Melting on the palate and quite aromatic, it finishes tasty but of medium length. It could be more powerful. Fine tannins. (89pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasted: Mar. 2010
Score: 89
Drink: N/A

Tasting note: A more refined and pretty style from this producer, with plummy raspberry jam aromas and undertones of vanilla bean and cream. Full-bodied and refined, with silky, caressing tannins. (91-94pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
