Robert Parker (93)

This wine is also inky black-colored but its tightly wound blackberry, cassis, and mint scents are quite different from the Clos Vougeot's. Super-ripe cherries, black raspberries, and cassis are drenched in copious quantities of fat and round tannins in this blockbuster's flavor profile. This is an expansive, thickly-textured, full-bodied, highly-extracted, and awesomely powerful wine that impresses by its size, balance, density of fruit, and sublime length.

Winespectator (92)

Thick, ripe and supple, this is a beautiful, full-bodied, suave wine. Combines lots of acidity, fruit intensity and a velvety midpalate with a long, sweet finish. A green olive note verges on herbaceousness, but I love the terrific cardamom, blackberry and deftly toasted oak flavors. Extremely complex and seductive on the long finish.
