Leafy nose but not very inviting. Cedary on the palate and on the lean and unforgiving side. Rather hard work. (JH)

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2013-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2009
Lightish crimson. Sweet, light, simple. The balance is fine but I can't see any excitement. This would be a very good Haut-Médoc but there's not much Margaux character. (JR)

Score 86-89/100 · Wine Spectator
Offers some good fruit, with fresh herb and berry character. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Score range: 86-89. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009.
