Wine Spectator  
This has a slightly sweet core of plum, cherry and raspberry, with hints of lilac, tar and warm stone. There's a somewhat sinewy feel on the finish, as a sanguine edge emerges. Drink now through 2015. 16,665 cases made. —James Molesworth, 87 points
Wine Advocate  
A pretty, seductive style of wine, the medium-bodied, dark plum/ruby-tinged 2008 exhibits generous quantities of black cherries, tobacco leaf, licorice and earth as well as loads of spice, an endearing, lush texture and rich fruit. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-15 years. —Robert Parker, 89 points
Wine Enthusiast  
Full-bodied, smooth wine, with spice and black plum fruit flavors packed into the sweet tannic structure. It's solid and chunky, a sign of the greater concentration coming out of Carbonnieux in recent years. —Roger Voss, 92 points
