92(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(73% cabernet sauvignon and 9% each cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot):  Bright ruby-red.  Claret-like aromas of currant, red cherry, flowers, minerals, licorice, cola and menthol.  Juicy, spicy and pliant, with a silky texture and a medicinal reserve to the crushed cassis and spicecake flavors.  Finishes with serious but sweet tannins and a wave of fruit.  I might have guessed Saint-Julien in a blind tasting.
