Critic reviews
"One of the underachieving classified growths of Pessac-Leognan, the 2010 Olivier is a very good effort. Notes of balsam wood, underbrush, sweet red and black currants, vanilla and spice box are all present in this medium-bodied, fruity, attractive wine. Drink it over the next 10-15 years."

"Pure and beautiful aromas of blueberries and dark chocolate that follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a silky finish. Very fine indeed. Wonderful length to this. Best wines in years from here. Try in 2018."
James Suckling, November 2013, JamesSuckling.com
"Deep youthful crimson. Intense aroma of cedary cassis and a light note of graphite freshness giving it fragrance. On the palate, just coming into its own with the tannins still definite but beautifully supple. There's still a surprising amount of savoury dark fruit here and a delicate peppery character. Delicious and à point though there is no hurry to drink this. Lovely fresh finish, moderate length."
