Tasted in February 2020 by the Revue du Vin de France, the 2010 vintage scored 18/20 "very seductive, with an intense palate, still marked by fresh fruit flavors".Rated 91/100 by Neal Martin « The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, well judged acidity, pretty with tart red berry fruit, judicious sprinkling of spice with a sappy, classically styled finish. It will be an easier drinking Brane-Cantenac that could be broached after four or five years. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 93/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Caressant à l’attaque, savoureux au développement, ce vin fond en milieu de bouche, très charmeur, voire délicat. Il s’achève sèveux, long, sur un grain fin.» (Oct. 2020)
