Critics Scores
James Suckling
Aromas of walnuts, dried strawberries and plums. Medium to full body, fine and silky tannins and a fresh finish. This builds on the palate. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From proprietress Odette Barrau-Badar, this vineyard, which is fabulously located just adjacent to Vieux Château Certan, Petrus and La Fleur Petrus, has produced a 2012 with a dark plum/purple color. There is often considerable Cabernet Franc in this blend, and I think that comes through in this wine with its notes of forest floor, earth and spice. It is fragrant, medium to full-bodied, rich and savory. This is another meaty, concentrated, very successful 2012 Pomerol It should drink well for 20 or more years
Wine Spectator
The rounded and perfumy plum and boysenberry fruit is laced with a mesquite note, while a light licorice snap hint checks in on the finish. A light sandalwood edge pinches the finish, but the flesh should absorb that in time. An elegant style of Pomerol. Best from 2016 through 2022.
Wine Enthusiast
This is a very firm and concentrated wine with dark and smoky character. The palate is elegant and fine, but densely structured with dark tannins that give extra complexity. Barrel Sample: 93-95
Decanter
Touches of smoke, enjoyable balance and rich tannic hold, smoke grilled notes are even more evident when you go back to it. Drinking Window 2021 - 2038
