Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Sep 2024

Great quality, some austere tannins on the opening beats, and a wave of cocoa bean, cassis, black tea, leather, cloves and smoked thyme.

Sweet, toasty oak. Some energy. But a tad tarty. Pinched finish. (JR)

Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2033, Robert Parker, Feb 2013

Extremely soft, up-front, classic Pessac-Leognan, the 2010 Carbonnieux possesses plenty of unsmoked cigar tobacco, roasted herbs, lavender, sweet kirsch and black currant fruit and sweet tannin. Seductive, lush and sensual, it is rather Burgundian in its elegant, savory, evolved style. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
