Blueberry and mineral, with dried flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with very polished and juicy tannins. Turns chewy. 91-94 points, James Suckling for The Wine Spectator, Online March 25, 2010.
The talented Claude Gros, who does such a great consulting job at many Bordeaux properties, has fashioned a brilliant 2009 sleeper of the vintage from this tiny estate. A dense purple color and copious aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and flowers are found in this medium to full-bodied, pure, long Margaux. It should drink well for 10+ years. (Tasted once.) 89-91 points Robert Parkers Wine Advocate # 188 (Apr 2010). |
