93-95 Parker: "A great effort from the Becot family and their consultant, Jean Philippe Fort, the 2009 is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is one of the highest-octane wines of St.-Emilion at 15% alcohol. Yields were very small (27 hectoliters per hectare) with the harvest taking place between October 10 and 14. The wine has an inky bluish/purple color and a big, powerful nose of raspberry confiture intermixed with crushed rock, licorice, and a very subtle hint of wood. A wine of enormous density, power, full-bodied richness and viscosity, it has good vibrancy and a boatload of tannin, but it is all seamlessly integrated in this colossal effort. Give it 3-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years. (Tasted four times.)"
93-96 Winespectator: "Blueberry, licorice and floral aromas follow through to a full body, with a beautiful core of fruit and a long, fine finish. Layered and gorgeous."
18 Weinwisser: "Sattes Purpur-Granat. Verhaltenes, trockenes Bouquet, rote und blaue Beeren. Am Gaumen mittelgewichtig, mit deutlichen Muskeln und verlangender Adstringenz. Wie immer ziemlich robust und kantig. Wird lange brauchen bis zur ersten Genussreife und wird auch dann ein zu dekantierender Food-Wein sein."
