Wine Advocate
Reviewed April 2014Caramelized fruit, coffee bean, espresso, black cherry liqueur, licorice and spice aromas jump from the glass of this dark ruby/plum-colored wine. Concentrated and silky-textured, this full-bodied, voluptuous wine is a brilliant example of the 2011 vintage. Give it 2-4 more years in the bottle and enjoy it over the next 15 or more. (RP)

Wine Spectator
This is tightening up a little now, with a graphite edge holding sway over lightly mulled plum and boysenberry fruit, revealing a lovely tug of earth at the end. This has lost the caressing feel of its youth and picked up the vintage's telltale briary edge, but the fruit is as gorgeous as always.--Non-blind Le Pin vertical (December 2015). Best from 2018 through 2030. (JM, Web-2016)

This is extremely bright and exotic, with crushed berries, flowers, orange peel and strawberries. Full body with a super-refined tannin structure and gorgeous, subtle chocolate, coffee and orange peel with red fruits. You want to drink it now, but better in 2016.

Definite toasty oak aroma, spicy, but there's plenty of dark cassis fruit under that. Big and thick/softly textured. Very smooth finish, velvety, caressing, fresh and long. 17.5/20 points. Drink 2018 – 2030. (JH)
