Tasting note: I enjoy this wine in nearly every vintage (the 1998 was one of my all-time favorites), and while the 2009 may not be better than the 1998, it is an impressive effort. Moreover, it represents a great value in top-notch Bordeaux. Its opaque purple color is followed by plenty of blueberry, boysenberry, and raspberry fruit notes intermixed with subtle hints of graphite and oak. The wine possesses ripe tannin, full-bodied power, admirable purity, and impressive amounts of glycerin and sweetness from its high ripeness (but not over-ripeness) in the finish. (91-94pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 91-94
Drink: 2010-25

Tasting note: Showing a lovely dark color of good intensity, this wine offers a fine, fruity and ripe nose of cherry and flower characteristics. Soft and subtle, this wine performs over a medium body with taste on the palate. I expected a little more power and fatness overall. It enjoys melting tannins along with an aromatic, tasty and long finish. (88-89pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Blueberry and floral aromas follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a long finish. Stylish and polished. This is a more reserved style and I like it. (90-93pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
