Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes Deep ruby/purple with considerable amounts of toasty new oak blasting out of the glass, this wine??s heavy-handed vanilla oakiness conceals its relatively extracted, rich, tannic flavors. It remains dumb and closed, but offers excellent depth, power, and richness. While there is plenty here, patience is required. Anticipated maturity:… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes A very strong effort for Boyd-Cantenac, a harvest which dragged on until October 15 produced wines that are dense, ruby/purple, with a sweet nose of weedy black currants, earth, mineral, and a hint of licorice. The wine is medium-bodied, very concentrated and chewy, with high levels of tannin.… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Black currant, licorice, damp earth, moss, and fresh porcini mushroom characteristics emerge from this dark plum/ruby-colored Pauillac.

Ratings by Robert Parker 91 Tasting Notes A classic Pauillac as well as a sleeper of the vintage, the 2008 is even better from bottle than I predicted from cask. It boasts a dense purple color along with an impressive display of black currants, licorice, forest floor and graphite, medium to full body, a hefty… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes This is among the finest wines I have ever tasted from this estate. Lavishly oaked, with gobs of pain grille and rich fruit, it is massive and concentrated. The color is dense ruby/purple. The bouquet offers notes of roasted coffee, tobacco, and jammy cassis. Although surprisingly soft and… Read More »
