Another outstanding success in a vintage that was very strong for Pomerol, the 2008 exhibits notes of plum sauce, raspberries, licorice and a hint of toasty oak. Surprisingly powerful for the vintage, the wine is medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin and a long finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. 92 Points, The Wine Advocate (2011)
Dried dark fruit aromas follow through to a medium body, with toasty oak and coffee character and dark chocolate fruit. Needs to come together. 86-89 Points, The Wine Spectator (2009)
