A pretty, seductive style of wine, the medium-bodied, dark plum/ruby-tinged 2008 exhibits generous quantities of black cherries, tobacco leaf, licorice and earth as well as loads of spice, an endearing, lush texture and rich fruit. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-15 years. 89 Points, The Wine Advocate (2011)
Full-bodied, smooth wine, with spice and black plum fruit flavors packed into the sweet tannic structure. It’s solid and chunky, a sign of the greater concentration coming out of Carbonnieux in recent years. 92 Points, The Wine Enthusiast (2011)
