A wonderfully bright and fresh nose full of strawberry and raspberry aromas. This is very clean, showing great fruit purity, balance and good body. An adequate amount of tannin rounds out this pleasing Pauillac.

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, February 2012
Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. This has a rounded, intense nose with ample brambly black fruit, touch of raspberry leaf and cedar with good definition. Very bright and lively compared to its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a fleshy entry. Very supple tannins and a caressing mouthfeel considering the vintage. There are lush ripe red fruits intermingling with sous-bois on the finish. The Merlot if expressive and very attractive here. Just give this a few years to come into its own. Tasted January 2012.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2011
The finesse-styled 2008 offers sweet berry fruit notes intermixed with notions of herbs, black currants and black cherries. Drink this elegant, mid-weight, silky smooth Pauillac over the next decade.
