93 Points - Robert M. Parker, The Wine Advocate
"The lacy, elegant Chimera possesses a fragrant bouquet of spring flowers intermixed with red and blue fruits as well as mossy underbrush characteristics, a round, generous mouthfeel and sweet, silky tannins. Already delicious as well as complex, it can be enjoyed over the next 2-3 years."

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"Good full deep red. Wild, soil-inflected aromas of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cola and loam, with a piquant note of sage providing lift. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, but with a firm edge of acidity giving the wine a juicy character. Turns more floral as it opens in the glass. Capiaux adds back 10% of the stems."
