90-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2012

(63% cabernet sauvignon; 22% merlot, 12% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot):  Deep ruby-purple.  Mineral notes complicate scents of fresh blackcurrant and cedar. Dense and pure on entry, then almost austere in the middle, showing very refined flavors of crystallized blackcurrant and juicy blackberry.  Finishes with rising, noble tannins and a minty edge.  Only 44% of total production (rather than normal 65%) went into the grand vin because the cabernets didn't produce as much. Note that since 2007 more of the estate's cabernet franc and petit verdot are going into the flagship wine; in fact, Glumineau plans to remove some merlot and add more cabernet franc.
