From barrel, I had much higher hopes for this wine as a potential candidate for the wine of the vintage. That said, it is still an outstanding effort, but it has nowhere near the prodigious depth and intensity that I thought. With sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with hints of truffle, kirsch, and even blacker black currants and licorice, the wine displays pure, nicely textured, medium-bodied flavors in a sensual style, but nowhere near the depth, length, and potential longevity I had expected. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025. (90+ points) Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2025 28 February 2009 |

A gorgeous and beautiful Pomerol showing finesse and tension that underlines the perfumes and subtlety of this great wine estate. Medium body, firm and silky textured tannins and a long, bright finish. Linear and long. Look for the complexity here. Score: 94 James Suckling, - 01 January 1900 |
