Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (92 - 94 points) The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is slightly denser and pure than the 2012 with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, incense, charcoal and camphor notes. Full-bodied, voluptuous and rich with an intensity of...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but with a turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Blackberry and black chocolate with mint, conifer and clove. Sweet tobacco, violets and flowers, too. Some graphite. Cool and complex. Full-bodied with ultra fine, dusty tannins and a wonderful, extremely long finish...

Wine & Spirits, 94 points: Laurène, named for Veronique Drouhin’s daughter, leads with notes of sassafras and smoke before revealing a plummy core of cherry flavor. It’s lifted, the fruit guided on burnished tannins, the finish elegant and a bit...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The inky colored 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a classic blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot that spent two years in mostly used barrels. It offers a beautiful, elegant, yet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon JCB No 1 is absolutely magnificent – a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from clone 4 aged 19 months in 50% new French oak. Unfortunately, only 130 cases were made, but it’s a stunner from Boisset...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This is fabulous on the nose with raspberries, blackberries, flowers and crushed stones. Violets, too. Full-bodied with fine, creamy tannins that are so polished and beautiful. It goes on for minutes with a tile, berry...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: A dynamic wine, showing both grace and structure, this opens like a flower bloom, revealing notes of raspberry, crushed stone, fresh violet and savory tea. Builds richness and tension toward refined tannins. Drink now...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Some meaty aromas across ripe blackcurrants, blueberries and gently tarry notes. The palate has a strong core of smoothly grippy tannins and abundant blackcurrants. Give this another year or two. Try from 2020.

Vinous, 93 points: Good dark red. Penetrating aromas of blueberry, pine needles, lavender and cedar come across as distinctly cool after the '12 and '13 bottlings. Fine-grained and densely packed if less plush and sweet than the younger...
