Warm, spicy and sweetly oaky. Ripe damsons on the mid palate. Very nice harmony of fruit and structure, and just fresh enough. Rating: 16.5/20 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Oct 2011)

A little earthy, with some sweet tobacco and fruit character. Medium body, round tannins and a pleasant finish. Drink now or hold. Rating: 89 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Oct 2011)
Deep ruby. Complex nose features delicate, almost Margaux-like aromas of cassis, fresh tomato, clove, damp earth and dried underbrush. Then smooth and sweet on the palate and weightier than the nose suggests, with a velvety texture to the cassis and blackberry flavors. Very fine tannins and a saline nuance add interest on the moderately long finish. A very good wine that owing to its ripe fruit flavors is easier to identify blind as a product of the '09 vintage than as an Haut-Medoc. Rating: 87-90 Ian d'Agata, www.vinousmedia.com (May 2010)
