The Wine Orbit - Sam Kim (New Zealand) December 2015
5 Stars & 93 Points This merlot dominant red is fabulously fragrant on the nose displaying dark berry, cedar, vanilla and bouquet garni characters, followed by a stylish palate that is concentrated and finely textured, and offers silky flow to the finish. The wine is wonderfully structured by polished tannins, making this a superb food partner. At its best: now to 2022.

Celebrate worldwide Irish Connections this St. Patrick's Day with Thomas Barton! Thomas Barton Réserve Saint-Emilion has a lovely bouquet dominated by black cherry. It starts out full on the palate, going on to reveal good balance with opulent tannin and a long finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to poultry such as duck and a white fish like monkfish, so make sure to treat yourself to a tasty meal to accompany this fabulously rich wine.

Wine Enthusiast - R. Voss (USA) August 2012
Buying Guide: 88 Some wood aging gives this Merlot-dominated wine a full structure, with attractive tannins and juicy black fruits. It is ripe, full-bodied and very approachable now.

(vintage: 2010)

Guide Gilbert & Gaillard - Gilbert & Gaillard (France) February 2011
Note : 84/100 Robe soutenue. Nez mêlant fruits rouges confiturés, fruits macérés, notes boisées. Un millésime de corpulence moyenne affichant une certaine fermeté, on retrouve les tanins du bois. Style classique, un peu austère qui conviendra à une viande rouge. Deep colour. A mix of jammy red fruits, macerated fruits and oak notes on the nose. A medium body wine displaying a measure of firmness and more of the oak tannins. A classic style wine, a tad austere, that works best with red meat.

(vintage: 2006)

Wine Enthusiast (USA) March 2009
Buying Guide Rating: 87"A ripe, smooth, smoky wine, in which the fruit is dense, almost sweetly rich. Spicy wood is a strong component, going right above the berry fruit flavors. This is an immediate, fruity, ready-to-drink wine."
(vintage: 2006)

The Wine Guide - Andreas Larsson - Best Sommelier of the World (France) January 2009
"Young, dark and bright purple, good purity of fruit, dark berries, a slight touch of oak and spices, fine grip on the palate, elgant and medium-bodied with nice purity, freshness and length."
(vintage: 2006)

Limerick Post - Andrew Carey (Ireland) December 2008
... something new and wonderful this Christmas..."There is an elegant bouquet to this St Emilion, that is heavily dominated by some black cherries. Full on the palate, it evens to a good balance of fruit and savoury tones offering good length to finish."
