Tasting Notes

91 Wine Enthusiast
Soft and ripe wine that shows the richness of the year while offering a core of tannins. It is immediately attractive, although the structure and final tannins do promise aging potential.

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A masculine-styled, dense purple-colored 2009, this cuvee offers up scents of charcoal, asphalt, black currants, incense, and crushed rocks. This deep, medium to full-bodied, well-made Margaux is broader, richer, and more substantial than usual, with more alcohol as well as substance. The tannins are ripe and well-integrated. This is a 30-year wine. Barrel Sample: 89-91 Points

90 Wine Spectator
A pleasant young wine, with berry and currant character that follows through to a medium body, with a simple finish. Barrel Sample: 87-90 Points
