Critics Ratings

'Mid crimson. Very light nose and resolved tannins. On the light side but nicely balanced. Definitely better than its 2008 stablemates.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Apr 2017)

'A classic Pauillac as well as a sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 is even better from bottle than I predicted from cask. It boasts a dense purple color along with an impressive display of black currants, licorice, forest floor and graphite, medium to full body, a hefty personality, plenty of pure, sweet fruit, an enticing texture and a long finish with supple tannins. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 15+ years.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (May 2011)

'Big, impressive wine, packed with sweet tannins and black plum fruits. Smoky wood lurks in the background, while acidity tops it off attractively.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Apr 2011)
