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.

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is rich and concentrated with loads of fruit and ripe tannins. Full body and a long, long finish. Beautiful intensity. Better in 2017 but so juicy and drinkable now. Nice and balanced for the vintage.

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.

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, 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, 95 points: (95+) The 2011 Pavie is composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon (14.3% alcohol). It possesses a certain approachability, which is somewhat disarming for the big, robust, super-concentrated...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: This complex wine has rich tannins and layers of new wood atop dark black berries. At the same time, it is rounding out well, offering spice, sweet acidity and a terse freshness that is infectious. It's a very fruity wine...

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, 95 points: The brilliant 2011 Troplong Mondot is one of the superstars of the vintage. The final blend was 89% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, and the wine tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol. Its opaque...

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.
