CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Deep cherry red. Both sweet and meaty on the nose. Almost a syrupy dark-red fruit sweetness, plus a darker more rocky quality. On the palate, very meaty, broad and sweet-fruited. A bruiser but the tannins are firm and dense without aggression. Big and beefy. (JH)

In a whole other realm compared to the 2011, the 2010 Coteaux dAix en Provence Alpilles is a flat out sensational wine, and I suspect the greatest vintage ever made from this estate. Coming from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, aged two years in foudre, it’s still vibrant ruby/purple colored and offers sensational notes of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, olive tapenade, and peppery herbs. With full-bodied richness, thrilling purity, a seamless texture, and blockbuster depth and richness, this tour de force from the South of France should continue drinking beautifully for another two decades.
