Chateau Lascombes 2009. "Bright red-ruby. Sexy aromas of coffee, nuts and cherry oak. Supple, sweet and chocolaty. Nicely concentrated, broad and round, showing a lush texture and a good chewy texture. Finishes with sweet tannins and a lingering element of smoky oak. Lovely claret." 92 Points. International Wine Cellar.

Continuum 2010. "An enticing, graceful style, this achieves a deft balance and refined dark berry, cedar and black licorice notes that linger on the finish as the tannins gain traction and grip." 93 Points. Wine Spectator.">Catena Zapata Nicolas 2009. "A concentrated yet lively red, with embedded acidity backing rich cassis, racy black cherry puree and mocha notes. This is detailed, delivering a long finish of spice cake, tarry mineral and fruit. Delicious now, but will reward patience. Best from 2014 through 2019. 1,500 cases imported." 94 Points.
