Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: Tasted at the Montrose vertical in London, the 2010 Montrose was the youngest vintage by some 115 years, but it is undeniably one of the best. It is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 1%...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: (WA 97-100 points) The final blend of the 2017 Cos d'Estournel is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Very deep purple-black in color, it offers up intense scents of crushed...
Wine Spectator, 94 points: Really vibrant with lovely notes of plum violet and cherry preserves laced with chalky cut that stretches out the finish. Very very solid. -J.M.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 1985 from cask could have been a lighter version of the 1982 and 1953 vintages. Forward with a fabulously scented bouquet of pain grille and concentrated red and black fruits (especially black cherries) it is rich...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This is a firm wine although with superb fruit. It is structured and dense, dark with tarry tannins as well as juicy fruitiness. It is a powerful wine that certainly has the freshness of the year while also having...
jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This is real powerful and sexy with a voluptuous style of ripe fruit, mushrooms and wet earth. Leafy. Full and seductive. Better after 2021 but already fantastic.
jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This is very linear and direct on the palate, showing great potential and length. Full body with mango and dried-lemon character and a long, flavorful finish. Shows intent and seriousness. Tight and structured. Better...
Wine Spectator, 96 points: Delivers gorgeous aromas of blackberry blueberry and licorice with hints of tobacco and spice. Full-bodied offering a lovely texture and refinement. Very long and beautiful with tangy acidity and lively fruit. A rich yet...
Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 93 points: Served blind at the Southwold 2009 tasting. Phelan does it again…served blind it embarrasses not only my previous scores but also its peers in this flight, just as it did in the same place apropos 2005. Here, the 2009...
Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Dark core with wide brick rim. A good balance of mature undergrowth and sweet and present fruit, with just a very slight leafiness. Elegant, finely textured and long. Classic in a difficult vintage. Persistent too...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: (WE93-95 points) The tannins are really deceptive in this wine. It is sumptuous and elegant at the same time. The black currant fruit and acidity are a foil for the powerful tannic structure. Balanced and rich in fruit...
Vinous, 93 points: (based on roughly 60% cabernet sauvignon) Good full ruby-red. Crunchy cassis bitter chocolate violet black olive and a note of leather on the nose. Quite juicy if a bit firm-edged with musky black cherry blackberry violet...

...JJB is bar none the best wine shop I do business with. All my Fine Wine Specialists over the past 15 or so years were all amazing. Currently James Katz is nothing short of awesome.
