Robert Parker:"From their 180 acres, this large estate fashioned a blend of 53% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Harvested over a three week period (September 29 - October 17), it is a big, tannic, nearly over-sized wine boasting a dense purple color along with notes of graphite, blueberries, black raspberries and spring flowers. Great fruit on the attack, a powerful, full-bodied mouthfeel and an unusually masculine, muscular style suggest this 2010 will require patience, but it could turn out to be one of the finest La Tour Carnets ever produced. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2045."

René Gabriel:
"Extrem dunkles Purpur. Grossartige Cabernet-Nase, Trüffel- und Palisandernoten, beeindruckende Tiefe. Ausgeglichene Adstringenz, viel schwarzbeerige Beerenaromen, erstaunlich viel Noblesse, grosses Potential - ein wahrlich genialer Grand Cru! Noch haben wenige Experten mitbekommen, wie sich dieser ehemals klassierte, aber lange bescheiden anmutende Haut-Médoc gemausert hat. Daher sind die Preise noch recht fair - trotz des emsigen Marketings a la Magrez. 2018 bis 2040"

Decanter Magazine:
"Deeply-extracted cassis fruit, slightly leathery and firm concentration and depth, a bit four-square at the moment, but lots of stuffing for the future."

James Suckling:
"A wine with dark berry, licorice and tar character. Subtle and silky. Lovely polished tannins and fresh acidity."

Jancis Robinson:
"Quite high volatility. Very fresh fruit in a light sandpaper corset at the moment. This will never be sweet and all-enveloping but it should make a fine luncheon claret(!)"

Neal Martin:
"A blend of 53% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot cropped at 45hl/ha, this has a well defined, rounded bouquet with blackberry, raspberry coulis and a touch of ripe figs. Very focused and poised. The palate has a pleasant grippy entry, quite bold tannins but very well balanced and the finish is very focused and Pauillac in style, hints of graphite towards the finish. Very fine. Tasted April 2011."
