Wine Spectator: 96 Points
Top 100 Wine #2 of 2013 his takes the power of the vintage and puts it in its pocket for later preferring instead to let mouthwatering briar loganberry mulberry and blackberry fruit strut its way forward enlivened with roasted wood spice and supported by suavely but thoroughly embedded iron-tinged structure. Should cruise for two decades. Best from 2016 through 2035. 4500 cases made 675 cases imported.
Wine Advocate: 95+ Points
The 2010's final blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc offers up impressive levels of red blue and black fruits as well as some toasty oak and crushed rock giving it minerality. Of course the acidity in this vintage with its lower pHs than 2009 provide a freshness and precision that is rare for wines so rich. This wine has plenty of tannin...
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
A big bold ripe wine with firm tannins and dark solid fruits. The wine has acidity coming from the black currant flavors. Continuing the impressive quality of wines from La Gaffeli?re it has weight and a rich feel to it along with a tight mineral final texture. This is a wine that is elegant as well as powerful.
