Tasting note: While the 2009 is a good effort, this property has not yet returned to the form it possessed in the seventies and early eighties. The cleanly made 2009 reveals notes of dusty black currants, spice box, earth, and licorice, and a medium-bodied, fresh, lively style. It just lacks the extra dimension encountered in most 2009s. (86-88pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 86-88
Drink: 2010-20

Tasting note: Black, intense color. Nose discreet at first, then more fruity, and finally creamy with ripe notes. Delicate, fruity mouth, rather aromatic and average body. The wine is not dry at the finish, but it still keeps its austere feeling. (86pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Spicy and beautiful, delivering blackberry and currant character. Full and silky, with beautiful fruit and a long finish. (92-95pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
