  The Wine Advocate
  "Proprietor Denis Durantou has produced a blockbuster Pomerol from a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, tipping the scales at just over 14.5% natural alcohol. A riveting wine, pure, elegant, but at the same time, extremely powerful and concentrated, with stunning texture, opulence and density, the tannins are abundant, and the wine certainly in need of a decade of cellaring. Fabulous creme de cassis and cherry liqueur notes are intertwined with hints of licorice, truffle, and graphite. Full and rich, but still in an infantile state of development, this wine needs to be cellared for 10 years but should keep for five decades or more. This 2009 is absolutely profound."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Deep, dark, lush and opulent from start finish, the wine explodes with truffle covered black blum, dark chocolate and roses. The wine is incredibly concentrated, wth layer after layer of perfectly ripe, silky, velvet drenched fruit. The wine is powerful, sensuous, long and even though it is still young, there is no doubt about its future legendary status."

  James Suckling
  "Wonderful aromas of crushed blackberries and blueberries and spices. Rose petals. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Beautiful layers of tannins, with hints of acidity. Best after 2017."

  "85 % Merlot. 15 % Cabernet Franc, 80 % neue Barriques. Dunkles Rubin mit satter Mitte. Konzentriertes schwarzbeeriges Bouquet mit Darjeelingnoten und dunklem Malz. Im zweiten Ansatz getrocknete Walderdbeeren und Vanillemark. Am massiven Gaumen mit enganliegendem Muskelpaket und spürbarer Adstringenz. Langanhaltendes Finale, aktuell etwas verkapselt, aber mit genialem Zug und unbändiger Kraft. Liegt aktuell hinter dem 2010er."
