Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Showing slightly better from bottle than barrel (and it performed admirably there), the 2010 Laforge emerges from three major soil types in St.-Emilion – gravel, sand and hard limestone. It is largely a Merlot-based wine...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Super fresh, this is striking given the 10 years in the cellars; it has a fine citrus nose - plenty of lemon, grapefruit, yellow chalky notes, some lighter floral elements too. The palate is super dry (dosage at 3-4g) and...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: Just mid ruby with a broad orange rim. Brooding, serious and subdued on the nose. Plenty of ripe cherry and wonderful tangy fruit and proper coating tannins on the palate. Firm and ripe. -WS (17/20)

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: The purity of fruit in this is fascinating with plums, currants and other dark fruits. Then there is another layer of spices and chocolate. So much cassis. Full and very layered with chewy polished tannins and a long...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: 97+ Possibly the youngest wine of all the 2005 Médocs in terms of its evolution, at age 10 the inky purple 2005 Pontet-Canet tastes more like a two-year-old wine. Loads of pure blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit are...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Merlot it displays an inky/blue/purple color as well as a big sweet nose of creme de cassis forest floor licorice lead pencil cedar and subtle barrique smells. Viscous and...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2012 Pavie Macquin is pure elegance. Silky tannins and a supple, layered personality give the 2012 much of its inviting personality. With time in the glass, the 2012 turns a bit darker and more masculine. Dark cherry...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Firm and still dry with the solid tannins, the wine's ripe fruitiness is developing well. The combination gives great potential. Black currant and berry fruits are both there with crisp juicy acidity. The aftertaste is a...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: This is a beautiful wine with elegant fruits that reflect a strong sense of minerality. It is crisp, although that is just a surface quality to a wine that has such depth. Toast flavors round out the intense fruits...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The beautiful 2008 exhibits a dark plum/ruby/purple color as well as jammy red and black fruit, crushed rock and floral notes. If this were a Burgundy, one might think of it as a grand cru Musigny. With excellent texture...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Intense blackberry and blueberry aromas as well as mushroom undertones. Violets, too. Sweet tobacco. Full-bodied and layered with polished tannins. Very long and beautiful. Give it two or three years to show what it has...

Wine Spectator, 98 points: This marries power and finesse with a large core of smoldering fig and blackberry fruit offset by black tea and aromatic spice notes. Fleshy but still stylish. A gorgeous wine. Tasted non-blind. -J.M.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Love the fruit and juicy character to this second wine of Margaux. Medium to full body, superfine tannins and a long finish. The freshness and savory finish are a big plus. Drink in 2020.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: (ST92-94 points) Bright, dark red. Soil-driven aromas of framboise, menthol, coffee and mint. Plush, full and sweet but given shape by harmonious sappy acidity; this tastes like another vintage! The tangy red fruit...
