The top wine of Chateau du Cedre is beautifully balanced, its chewy tannins given the right perspective by the impressively dark fruits. The wine is brooding, profound, concentrated and complex. Age for at least 6 years.——R.V.(3/1/2012)—— 94

A fresh wine, with pure fruit, plum and light cherry flavors and a burst of acidity. The tannins have a firm chewy character but are minor players in this fruity wine. Screwcap. ——R.V.(3/1/2010)—— 86

2 High toast aromas are filled out on the palate with rich, concentrated fruit and bitter chocolate flavors. This powerful, impressive wine is spicy and densely packed. At this stage, it feels hard edged, but that will fill out in the next 3–4 years as the wine broadens out. ——R.V.(12/15/2010)—— 94
