Chateau Taillefer Pomerol 2009

James Suckling 92
"Aromas of black truffles, blackberries and ripe raspberries, follow through to a a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, fresh finish. Better in 2015."

Neal Martin 90
"Tasted at the Syndicat de Pomerol. Catherine Moueix has made a very fine 2009. It has an understated, tertiary bouquet with precise red fruit underneath and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied, crisp and taut with great precision rather than power. It is as fresh as a daisy with superb tension. Very fine. Who said you have to be up on the plateau to make great Pomerol? Tasted November 2011."

Wine Enthusiast 89-91
"Barrel sample. Firm, stalky almost, with considerable acidity. The wine feels very structured, designed for aging with the freshest final acidity."~RV
