"(90-93) out of 100...This is one of the most complex wines of the appellation, exhibiting notes of underbrush, sweet currants, cherries, and subtle touches of roasted herbs, incense, and spice box. It does not possess the power or depth of the 2005, and may not even eclipse the 2006, but it is a beautiful, pure, mid-weight, well-balanced, impeccably pure Margaux that should drink well for 15+ years." - WA
"(86-89) out of 100...Delicate for the vintage, with plum and fresh basil character. Medium-bodied, with refined tannins and crisp acidity." - WS
"(83-85?) out of 100...The nose is rather muted, underbrush, woody, very unresolved and I would have liked to have seen more fruit concentration. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp acidity, bitter cherry, redcurrant and sous-bois. Disjointed and rather pointed on the finish. Tasted twice with consistent notes. Tasted April 2009." - Neal Martin, Wine Journal
