Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2015-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2011

Mid crimson. Scented and fruity and sweet. Again, quite simple. St-Estèphe grip on the finish. Very mineral and stone-sucking. True to type! (JR)

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2011-2017, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2009

Dark crimson. Some rather odd sweetness on the nose. Very fresh and actually a much truer wine than some of the more tarted up wines. 2007 has made almost exaggerated St-Estèphes! Very pure, clean and bracing. (JR)

85 - 88 points
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Score 85-88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008

Good bright ruby-red. Black cherry, meat and dark chocolate on the nose. Moderately sweet in the mouth; in a cool style but with good flavor intensity. Very firm and very St. Estephe. Finishes with ripe tannins. (An earlier sample seemed less ripe and distinctly clenched, even a bit dry on the end.)
