Neal Martin's Wine Journal: Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois 2009 tasting in London. The Devise d'Ardilley was the winner of the Coup de Cru Bourgeois that I judged at Vinexpo in June. Here, it justifies that...

Wine Spectator: Solid, with a racy iron and violet frame to the core of sleek red currant, cherry and damson plum fruit. Not big, but with nice cut on the finish. Drink now through 2014. –JM

Wine Spectator: This has a good pebbly feel running through the mix of black cherry, red currant and lightly toasted spice hints. Ends with floral and iron flashes on the finish. Offers good ...

John Sweeney: A very dark, modern-styled Bordeaux indicating classic Derenoncourt flair. The bouquet offers generous red cherry, coffee, raspberry, and elegant wet stone minerality. Medium ...

Wine Spectator: Big and bold, with currant, blackberry and plum fruit backed by espresso, smoke and mineral notes in this muscular red. The powerful character is more menacing than alluring, ...

Wine Spectator: Dark in aroma and fleshy in feel, but open-knit overall, with enticing tobacco, fig and mulled black currant fruit carried by a loam hint through the broad finish. Drink now t...

Wine Spectator: This has an old-school twinge, with bay leaf and alder notes leading the way for cassis bush, blackberry and tobacco flavors. There's lightly edgy grip, but this doesn't reall...

Wine Spectator: Fresh red currant, raspberry and cherry notes are laced with violet and blood orange. Brighter and higher-toned than most of its 2009 Pessac peers. Drink now through 2018. -JM

Wine Spectator: Broad shouldered style, with dark charcoal and ganache notes fronting for the core of roasted fig, plum sauce and warm black currant confiture. Rich and smoky through the fini...

Wine Spectator: This has good flesh, with a lilac note giving way to dark mulled plum and linzer torte flavors, studded with black tea and roasted spice hints. Shows nice drive on the finish....

About this Wine: The second wine of Suduiraut, formerly called Castelnau de Suduiraut

Wine Spectator: Lemon peel, spices and honey on the nose. Full-bodied, with a dense yet elegant structure. Medium sweet, with a spicy finish. Stylish. Very well done

Wine Spectator: A very pure, polished style, with an almost-rounded feel to the beam of cassis, dark plum and black cherry fruit, which gets support from graphite, dark olive and alder wood n...

Wine Spectator: Lush but defined, with a lovely floral and green tea frame to the dried pineapple, quince, pear and yellow apple fruit flavors, which are seamless through the long, lightly to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A major sleeper of the vintage, this blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is another "best ever" performance. Notes of tobacco leaf, hot rocks, sweet kirsch and ...

Wine Spectator: Lime and lemon aromas and flavors, with a thick and powerful palate. Seems more like a red wine in texture. Dense and rich. -JS

James Suckling: Blueberry and fresh mushrooms, with hints of earth. Medium-to-full body, with medium chewy tannins and a medium finish. A little austere. Second wine of Cantermerle, which mad...

Wine Spectator: This is polished and open, with a core of juicy plum, briar and black cherry fruit. Nicely rounded through the finish and accessible now. Drink now through 2018. –JM
