Served blind at the Southwold 2009 tasting. The Bouscaut ‘09 has a lifted bouquet of dark plum, cassis and violet - like some other Graves, embracing a Margaux inspired floral tone. The palate is medium-bodied with very primal fruit: raspberry preserve and wild strawberry. There are fine tannins on the foursquare finish that is nicely balanced and fresh. Score: 89 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 January 2013 |

Very fruity with a plum and ripe berry pie character on the nose and palate. Full and silky with excellent fruit, if slightly one dimensional. Try in 2015 to give it more complexity. Score: 91 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2015+ 01 August 2012 |

This is packed with maduro tobacco, espresso and baker's chocolate flavors, joined by dark currant and plum fruit, but the edges are sleek and the finish nicely woven with roasted alder and bay notes. This shows nice range, and should blossom with mid-term cellaring. Best from 2013 through 2020. Score: 91 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2013-2020 31 March 2012 |
