– Decanter 17/20 punten. “Lovely cassis nose, smoothness of texture and weight, a polished and classy wine”.

– Tim Atkin 94/100. “Blessed with some excellent vineyards as well as an ambitious owner in Mme Denise Gasqueton of Calon-­Ségur, it shouldn’t surprise us that this is so good. But it may well be the bargain of the vintage: sexy, fleshy and supple, with notes of sandalwood, cassis and blackberry, firmed up by fine tannins”.

– Robert Parker 87-89/100. “Composed of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, this is one of the Gasqueton family’s finest efforts to date (although the 2009 was also very good). The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2010 exhibits plenty of delicious red and blackberry fruit, medium body and more size and substance than most past vintages. It should drink well for a decade or more”.
