jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A wine with blueberry and chocolate with hints of hazelnut. Full body, with velvety tannins and a polished finish. This is intense yet very fine. Very pretty young Bordeaux. Try after 2016.
TheWineCellarInsider.com, 100 points: Inky and opaque in color, the wine screams with licorice, truffle, dark black fruits, Asian spice and wet forest scents. The wine is stunningly concentrated filling your mouth, coating your palate and staining your teeth...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: 93-95 Modern in style, with its new wood flavors dominant, this is a tight wine at this stage, packed with tannins, the fruit a ripe promise for the future. Big and dark, juicy flavors show through finally.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: When tasting the 2010 Abelard alongside the Heloise, the derivation of the names becomes obvious. Abelard is the bigger, richer wine—the more "masculine," to deploy a somewhat dated/sexist stereotype. This full-bodied...
Decanter, 100 points: Silky, sweet black fruit, black olive and truffle notes from the start. This is majestically impressive - it sparks to life in your mouth and breaks out an involuntary smile. The texture is just liquid silk and it slowly...
Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: This big, rich, chocolaty wine is powerfully built with considerable extract. The wine is huge and solid, its tannins extreme and dense. At the same time, the juicy blackberry fruit drives the wine into an opulent aftertaste.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: 2010 Reserve de la Comtesse: A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 46% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot this wine which hit 13.5% alcohol (the 2009 was 13%) displays loads of chocolatey herbal black currant fruit and...
Wine Enthusiast, 99 points: A big, bold wine with unbelievable power and concentration. Low yields and a dominance of Cabernet Franc have produced an immensely concentrated wine. Still very young, this magnificent wine holds the promise of great aging.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Another amazing offering is the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Chimere a blend of 93% Mourvedre 5% Grenache and the rest white varietals. Packaged in a distinctive Italian glass bottle this inky/purple-colored 2010 exhibits...
Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: This is a great wine with its swathes of ripe fruit allied to a very structured character. It is concentrated with complex flavors that bring in wood, tropical fruits, apricots and a dense texture. Combined, these...
Vinous, 97 points: Two bottles of the 2010 Grand Puy-Lacoste were opened, the first showing just a little oxidation. The second has an attractive minty bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit laced with subtle marine/seaweed notes, a...
TheWineCellarInsider.com, 99 points: Wow, did I get this wrong on barrel. It happens. But I am man enough to willingly admit it. This has blossomed into one of the silkiest, sexiest, wines I’ve tasted in ages. The perfect ripe sweet fruit feels like each...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Aromas of currants, blueberries and blackberries with a dark chocolate undertone. Perfumes and beautiful. Full body, with velvety tannins that are fine-tuned and tentative. It lasts for minutes. Gorgeous fruit and...
