- Goedhuis, May 2009, Score: 90-92
- One of the most consistently well-made wines of the appellation, the 2006 reveals a rich, deep ruby colour that leads to a super velvety palate of opulent bramble fruit, exceptionally ripe, fine tannins. Emmanuelle Cruse feels that his 2008 is better than his 2004 and 2002 and feels that it is more along the lines of his impressive 2006. Truly delicious.
- Jancis Robinson, April 2009, Score: 17
- Mild, ripe nose. Silky texture and great freshness. Attractive, complete, confident wine. Very Margaux. Or do I mean very Cantenac?
- Robert Parker, April 2009, Score: 91-93
- This beautifully elegant, precise, well-delineated 2008 displays a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of spring flowers, blue and black fruits, and subtle graphite and earth. Medium to full-bodied with a layered, expansive mouthfeel, impressive purity, and a long finish with no hint of aggressiveness, this effort should be at its peak in 4-6 years, and evolve for 20-25 years.
- Wine Spectator, April 2009, Score: 87-90
- Sweet blackberry and mineral aromas follow through to a medium body, with polished tannins and a medium finish. A little hollow, but good quality.
