Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2016-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2012

Very dark crimson. Blackcurrant gums on the nose. Round and luscious on the palate. Easy and flattering even if not that ambitious. (JR)

Score 93/100 · Drink 2011-2026, Robert Parker, May 2011

A superb effort, the dense purple-colored 2008 offers a beautiful nose of new saddle leather, kirsch, black currants, licorice and spice box, medium to full body, ripe tannins, a luscious texture and a long, layered mouthfeel and finish. Sadly, this beauty is very limited in availability. It should drink well for 10-15 years.
