JAMES SUCKLING: "Shows pretty plum and spice character, with full body, velvety tannins and a dried lemon and subtle fruit aftertaste. Rich and structured. Try in 2016."

WEINWISSER: "Tiefes Purpur. Intensives Kirschbouquet, Edelholz- und Zedernnoten, Kaffee im Untergrund. Gut gebauter Körper, festes Fleisch, leicht kantig, muskulöse Adstringenz, sandiges Extrakt. Gut gelungen, vielversprechende Anlagen, legt ggf. noch zu."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Barrel sample. Dense tannins over delicious blackberry juicy fruit. A finely structured wine, good freshness and sweet aftertaste."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Beautiful blueberry, black raspberry and cassis fruit as well as incense and graphite jump from the glass of this inky ruby/purple-colored wine. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, dense and rich, this is one of the stars of Moulis in 2009. Given its low acidity but abundant tannin, I suspect it could close down in a few years and last two decades."

WINE SPECTATOR: "This polished, precise red exhibits delicious mulled black cherry, sleek cassis and dark plum fruit all inlaid with hints of toasted spice and mesquite. A nice flash of chalk helps give the finish cut. Drink now through 2015."
