"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Ashmead is a single vineyard selection aged for 18 months in new French 300-liter barrels (aka hogsheads). It offers up a superb bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, espresso, spice box, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Opulent on the palate, it has gobs of succulent black fruit, well-concealed ripe tannins, impeccable balance, and a long finish. Cellar it for 5-7 years and drink it from 2014 to 2028."

"Of all the La Reserves that I put together the L'eglise is no doubt the most explosive and the one I really took all the great fruit ;) and the good fruit scored super well with Parker, so imagine. The biggest difference between the regular cuvee and this effort is that this wine has a lot more structure and I feel has a better balance to it, this is one of my favorite all time wines and if this wasn't a wine I blended I would go 96-7, wait to you try it!"-Gary Vaynerchuk

""This renowned Pomerol estate has come on very strong in the last 10 years, thanks to owner Helene Garcin and consulting wine maker Dr. Alain Raynaud. This wine emphasizes terroir and elegance more than power and brute force. Beautifully balanced, aromatic and a pleasure to drink now, this should easily last for 20+ years. 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc."

The chateau's bottling was rated 92 Points by Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.

"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a more closed and restrained style of wine, with firm tannins, Bordeaux-like austerity, but dense ruby/purple with notes of menthol, black currant liqueur, coffee, and a hint of olive. The wine is full-bodied, youthful, tannic, and a promising candidate for long-term cellaring. In fact this kind of vintage at Togni generally means laying the wine away for at least a decade, which is always good advice here. This may be a 30- to 40-year Togni Cabernet Sauvignon."

"Tasted at the Langoa-Barton vertical in London. A stunning 2005 that over-achieves...and some. A lucid garnet colour. There is a sumptuous, almost decadent quality to the nose with notes of raspberry, black plum, mulberry, just a hint of Seville orange marmalade, all with wonderful definition and freshness. The palate is full-bodied with a velutinous entry. An unashamedly seductive Langoa with very fine tannins and a tangible lightness of touch married with immense purity. The middle and finish have an unerring symmetry whilst the finish is about as seamless as Saint Julien can get (actually redolent of a less turbo-charged Leoville Las-Cases.) Moderate length: blackberry, tobacco and a touch of pepper on the finish. A Langoa that I suspect is more for medium- rather than long-term drinking like its sibling. But who cares...delicious! Drink 2012-2030."

"Wonderful aromas of licorice, crushed blackberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with very well-integrated tannins and vanilla, berry and aniseed flavors. Has a long, long finish. Best after 2015. 6,665 cases made." -92 Points - Wine Spectator

"Big, ripe, almost exotic, this has developed impressively over the past 18 months. Its tannins are certainly huge, but so is the fruit, warm, rich and enticing. Very powered, it thrusts black currants and acidity right up front." -92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
