Red Wine from St Emilion

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: (WE94-96 points) Big and powerful this is a wine that is supported by dense tannins. The feeling is dry and firm with a brooding black-currant character.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 95 points: The Canon 2011 is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc picked from 7th until 17th September. One of Saint Emilion's highlights it has a lovely bouquet with wild strawberry and dark plum aromas that are very well...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: This dense, rich, concentrated 2011 reveals lots of minerality, plenty of blue and black fruits, bold tannins and sufficient concentration and richness to hold up to the tannic structure. Potential purchasers will require...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Clos de Sarpe gives up notions of roasted coffee beans, smoked meats and chocolate-covered cherries over a core of blackberry tart and preserved plums with wafts of garrigue and dried...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: This gorgeous 2011 continues the succession of impressive wines made by this estate since it was acquired by the Decoster family. Beautiful black raspberry, blueberry and black currant fruit notes intermixed with a touch...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is a racy, elegant Angélus with super-silky, caressing tannins and a fabulous depth of fruit, including blackberries, chocolate and light espresso. Such length and beauty. It needs at least four of five years of...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: A deliciously-perfumed wine with a dark and intense tannic structure. It is spiced and concentrated with a plum character and great richness on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Clos Fourtet is a continuing success. This 2011 is both rich and seriously structured. Ripe, with a mineral character, it starts firm and then shows generous blackberry fruits. Still young, it should not be drunk before 2018.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Shows serious concentration of fruit for the vintage, with a medium to full body, fine tannins and a juicy finish. Beautiful, pure fruit, with licorice and berries. Needs a few years to come together: try in 2017

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: One of the oldest family-owned vineyards in St.-Emilion La Gaffeliere has been owned by the same family since the 1400s. The 2011 performed slightly differently in multiple tastings but overall it appears to be an...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) A firm and tannic wine, it has the weight to support its tannins. It's balanced, solid and dense, with a powerful shot of black fruits.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 96 points: The Cheval Blanc is a blend of 52% Cabernet Franc and 48% Merlot picked from 6th September finishing on 2nd October. The bouquet is reticent at first and so I allow the sample to warm a little in the glass over five...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: One of the few blockbuster wines in this vintage, Gracia’s 2011 exhibits an opaque blue/purple color along with gorgeous aromas of graphite, chalk, black currants, blueberries, camphor and a hint of truffles. Full-bodied...
