Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Dark, dense and packed with wood flavors, the wine is hard at this stage. But it is also laden with fruits to give a dramatically powerful potential for this second wine. Blackberry fruits go with the smoky flavors and promise a fresh view as the wine ages. Drink from 2017.
Decanter: 92 Points
Sage and rosemary spice on the nose, and in the glass the focus is on freshness rather than opulence, making it a great reflection of the vintage. Iris and violet notes as it opens, but it needs time in the glass, and there are touches of dried fruits. Will benefit from another few years in bottle to soften up, but there is a clear opulence to the fruit. 3.6pH. This was the year that Philippe Bascaules moved to Inglenook, Napa (he began on October 1 2011 in California so had done the whole harvest in Margaux first). One of the first years with a ruthless selection for Pavillon Rouge - 28% of overall production. The third wine had started in 2009, and will have had an impact. Drinking Window 2021 - 2036.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
This shows a slightly taut, woodsy frame, with singed balsa wood and alder notes holding the core of cherry, red currant and damson plum in check for now. The fruit is persistent and graceful. Best from 2015 through 2025.
