Score 87/100 · Drink 2012-2022, Robert Parker, Feb 2012

A lackluster terroir that normally produces relatively neutral and hard-edged wines, the 2009 Taillefer is probably the best wine they have ever made. Dense ruby/purple with notes of mocha, black cherries, licorice and a bit of tobacco leaf, this fleshy, medium-bodied red is best drunk over the next decade.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2016-2023, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2010

Sweet and raw – not the most comfortable combo! Really quite aggressive acid. Shame. (JR)

Aromas of black truffles, blackberries and ripe raspberries, follow through to a a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, fresh finish. Better in 2015. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
