92-94 points Robert Parker: "The amazing 2010 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Terre d’Argile may be just as good as the 2007. A black/ruby color is followed by abundant aromas of cassis, blackberries, black cherries, licorice and a hint of charcoal. The wine possesses good acidity, a full-bodied mouthfeel and terrific precision. It is a big wine that should age well for up to a decade. (Oct 2011)"

91-93+ points Rhone Report: "It's always a good sign with the first word in my notes is 'Wow"'and the 2010 Domaine de la Janasse Cotes du Rhone Villages Terre d'Argile looks to be the best vintage of this cuvee yet! Showing serious and intense aromas, this full-bodied, uncommonly rich Cotes du Rhone has layers of texture, brilliant concentration, and a very long finish. It should be approachable on release, but benefit from short to mid-term cellaring. Exciting stuff. (Sep 2011)"
