CRITIC REVIEWS
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The second wine, the 2010 Pavillon Rouge (essentially two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot with small quantities and Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) looks to be a wine to age for 20 or more years, but it is quite drinkable already. Soft, supple and luscious, with oodles of blue and black fruits, the floral character one expects, and not a trace of herbaceousness, oak or aggressiveness, this is a beautiful, round, generous wine to drink over the next 18-20 years.

Smudgy garnet. Very subtle nose and obviously top-quality oak used here. Sumptuous texture. Really rather glorious for relatively early drinking. Very long and both fresh and ripe. Scrummy really. No excess tannins but no dangerously short life. QGV
