92-94 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2013

Deep ruby-red.  Complex aromas of black cherry, mocha, nut oil, smoked meat and earth.  Silky and fine-grained, with impressive density to its dark fruit, earth and game flavors.  Finishes with very fine tannins and superb length.  May be the best vintage yet for this old-vine grand cru "blend" (DRC signed a long-term lease agreement in 2008 with the Domaine Prince Florent de Merode covering vines in Corton Clos du Roi, Bressandes and Renard).  The 2010 is more high-pitched and ethereal, while this is earthier and denser.  I may even be underrating this wine today.
