- Goedhuis, May 2009, Score: 91-93
- A rich and lifted wine that offers impeccable balance amongst its impressively endowed palate of fruit, velvety tannins and notable freshness. Finishes on notes of lightly toasted spice and roasted coffee. One of the best we tasted from the Moueix stable. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
- Robert Parker, April 2009, Score: 91-93
- A classic Certan de May, the 2008 reveals notes of cedarwood, roasted herbs, graphite, underbrush, and copious amounts of creme de cassis and sweet black cherries. Muscular and full-bodied with sensationally ripe tannins as well as purity, this large-scaled, backward, unevolved effort should turn out to be a long-lived wine. It is among the top half dozen or so efforts from this property in the last twenty years.
- Wine Spectator, April 2009, Score: 89-92
- Almost exotic on the nose, with apricot, orange and blackberry. Medium- to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Firm and well-made.
