From Wine Spectator: "Tightly focused, with a fresh core of dark cherry and currant notes, driven by a strong chalk accent before slightly austere tannins take over on the back end. Light blood orange and tobacco details are starting to emerge as well.—Non-blind Bélair-Monange vertical (December 2016). Best from 2021 through 2030 Rated 93 Points
Wine Advocate: "It is amazing how things have turned around for this tiny jewel of a property adjacent to Chateau Ausone. The dense ruby/purple-colored 2011 offers gorgeous aromas of kirsch, crushed rock, raspberries and subtle oak are followed by a medium-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel that suggests low yields and impeccable winemaking. A star of the vintage, it should be forgotten for 4-5 years and drunk over the following two decades. 92 Points
