Tasting notes
Bright, dark red. Redcurrant, tobacco and menthol on the nose. Broad, sweet and fairly full in the mouth, with a fine grain to the flavors of currant, tobacco, herbs and earth. Not especially complex or structured but nicely made. The finish features broad, ripe tannins and good energy and length.

Revealing abundant minerality as well as a leaner, tighter style than the 2010's with less mass, extraction and power, this elegant, medium-bodied 2008 exhibits raspberry and black currant fruit, cedar, loamy soil and a hint of spice box. It should be consumed over the next 3-4 years.
Lightly scented. Sweet start – very supple and round with a hint of sawdust and a fair amount of acidity but bright fruit and almost hidden tannins. Much more ambitious than most Bordeaux Rouge Supérieurs. Rather drying finish. (JR)

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate May 2011 Another very good generic Bordeaux with committed ownership as well as a vision of quality, this blend of 40% Merlot, 35% Petit Verdot, and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a sweet perfume of asphalt, blackberries, blue fruits, and flowers. Medium-bodied with crisp acids, sweet tannin, and no hard edges, it can be enjoyed over the next several years. [87-88 points] Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #182 April 2009
