Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Intense with dark smoldering tobacco and charcoal leading the way along with densely layered currant preserves fig paste and blackberry coulis flavors. The finish lets the pure fruit sing while a violet note waits in reserve. Best from 2014 through 2024.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Extremely soft up-front classic Pessac-Leognan the 2010 Carbonnieux possesses plenty of unsmoked cigar tobacco roasted herbs lavender sweet kirsch and black currant fruit and sweet tannin. Seductive lush and sensual it is rather Burgundian in its elegant savory evolved style. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
Vinous: 89-91 Points
Very deep ruby-purple color. Raspberry smoke and a whiff of floral red cherry on the nose. Juicy intense and almost sweet with a lightly minty quality to the rich red fruit flavors. Nicely delicate lively Pessac-Leognan with a texture that's more Burgundian than Bordeaux-like—at least at this stage of its development. The fresh finish features very good balance smooth tannins and subtle length.
