Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2036, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux, Feb 2022

The 2008 has soft berry fruits, cold ash, tobacco, smoky cigar notes, great balance and finesse. Melted tannins that are ready to drink, with chocolate and liqourice filling out the frame in the mid-palate, and gentle black pepper spice on the finish. This was the vintage where serious cellar improvements began, with the addition of small stainless steel vats to allow more plot by plot selection. 50% new oak.

Score 16/20 · Drink 2017-2035, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2018

Tasted blind. Very dark crimson. Sweet and glossy – a charmer. Easy peasy to appreciate now. But just a little simple. Spicy. (JR)

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2016-2026, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2012

Light and fresh and with quite a bit of acidity. Chewy end. A bit stolid and chunky. (JR)
