James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, April 2011

This is so good already. What an amazing precision of fruit for this wine, with a blackberry and blueberry character as well as minerals. Full and super silky with lovely fruit. Gourmand. Tasty. I want to drink it. Always great value!


Jancis Robinson, April 2011

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Dark glowing crimson. Quite full and rich and round. Thick and sweet. Much over delivery. Masses of fun. An early developer.


Neil Mechanic, JJ Buckley, April 2011

80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. All about low yields on this property with 25-year-old vines. A sweet nose offers blackberry liqueur, which is mirrored on the full-bodied palate with a ripe and dripping glycerol core, along with ribbons of soy, licorice, cola and sweet tobacco on the back end. A zesty and spicy finish stretches with gripping tannins that will soften with a few more years of bottle age. Slightly lighter on its feet compared to the "Querre" bottling. Drink 2015 to 2020. Tasted twice.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2013

From the brilliant proprietor Stephan von Neipperg, the 2010, a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that hit 15% natural alcohol, is ripe and intense but exhibits good minerality and freshness as well as lots of blueberry and blackberry fruit, with hints of charcoal, licorice and asphalt. Rich and full-bodied, with no hard edges, this wine should drink beautifully for 10 or more years.

Wine Spectator, March 2013

Very lush and expressive, with caressing plum sauce, mulled blueberry and blackberry fruit and melted licorice and warm fruitcake flavors, all gliding together through the finish. Offers lovely range and a seductive mouthfeel. Drink now through 2019. -JM
