James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, March 2013

Expressive nose with red cherries, ripe wild strawberries and some coffee. Eucalyptus leaves and vanilla. Intense and full on the palate with a wonderful bright fruit and ripe chewy tannins. Long and juicy finish. Try in 2016 to resolve the tannins.


Jancis Robinson, April 2011

Nicolas Thienpont. Very dark. Very supple and seductive. Great concentration and ambition which in 2010 seems pretty exciting. Still tense and tight and there are lots of minerals and fruit here in very good balance. Really rather suave! And attractively dry.


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011

A sleeper of the vintage from proprietor Nicolas Thienpont, the 2010 La Prade is about as good as Cotes de Francs can be. Under the capable hands of consulting winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc hit 14.5% natural alcohol. A dense plum/purple color is accompanied by scents of blueberries, black raspberries, graphite and earth. Drink this opulent, fleshy effort during its first 5-7 years of life.

A powerful, firmly structured wine, this is dense and concentrated, a powerhouse of both dark fruits and firm tannins. It will need many years to develop its full potential. -R.V.

Wine Spectator, January 2013

Dark and ripe, with a lush edge to the plum sauce and dark fig notes that's held in check by a charcoal frame. Bitter orange and Campari hints flash through the finish, with a briary feel as well. Drink now through 2015. -JM
