Tasting note: The finest wine I have ever tasted from Lalande Borie, the 2009 (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc) displays lots of purity along with a boatload of black currant, raspberry, and black cherry fruit, no evidence of wood, broad, rich, deep flavors, and a velvety texture. It should drink well for a decade or more. (88-90pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 88-90
Drink: 2010-20

Tasting note: Pleasant wine, fruity, with a smooth, creamy mouth. Good composition, rather fine tannins. (86pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Wonderful aromas of flowers such as roses. Full-bodied, with firm and precise tannins. Fresh fruit, with a citrus undertone. Medium finish. (87-90pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
