Robert Parker heeft deze wijnen met 100 punten beloond, wat absoluut uitzonderlijk is en eigenlijk nog nooit is vertoond.

De proefnotities:

La Muse 2007 – 100 points – (Pomerol Style)
“A perfect wine, this blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec emerges
from Chalk Hill (48%), Knight’s Valley (21%), Alexander Mountain Estate (21%) and Bennett
Valley (10%). Another prodigious effort, its extraordinary sweet notes of caramelized
herbs, mocha, coffee, blackberries and cassis are followed by a multilayered, full-bodied
wine revealing a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood, and an opulent,
voluptuous finish that goes on and on. It is thrilling to smell, taste and drink. Moreover, it
possesses a similar seamlessness also found in the 2002 and 2001. Because of that, it
can be drunk now for its primary attractions or cellared for another 30+ years.”
La Joie 2007 – 100 points – (Pauillac Style)
“Composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest
Petit Verdot and Malbec, the 2007’s fruit came from four sources, Alexander Valley
Mountain Estate, Knight’s Valley, Chalk Hill and Bennett Valley. This utterly perfect, flawless
wine reveals great intensity along with a wonderful perfume of roasted coffee, blueberries,
blackberries, spring flowers, forest floor and crushed rock. Full-bodied and viscous without
being heavy, the wine possesses admirable precision as well as good acidity and balance.
This stunning wine is developing beautifully. It contains 14.4% aclcohol (one of the highest
amounts) and a final PH of 3.64. It should last another 30 years.”

Le Desir 2007 – 100 points – (St. Emilion style)

“A profound blend of 44% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4%
Malbec, with 56% of the fruit from Chalk Hill, 26% from the Alexander Valley Mountain
Estate, 14% from Knight’s Valley and 4% from Bennett Valley, the 2007 is a wine of
unbelieveable intensity. It boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as notes of acacia
flowers, graphite, licorice, blackberries, blueberries and a hint of burning embers/
charcoal, superb intensity and purity, and abundant tannin in the finish. This massive wine
needs 5-6 more years of bottle age, and is meant for 35-40 years of cellaring.”
