James Suckling: 92 Points
This is really pretty and jumps out of the glass with lots of raspberry and blueberry aromas and floral undertones. Medium to full body, silky tannins and a bright acidity. Drink or hold. Very impressive for the vintage.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Another winning 2008 St.-Julien, with the appellation's telltale beam of black currant, fig and anise wrapped with charcoal and espresso notes. There's serious grip. Needs some time. Best from 2013 through 2021. 8,330 cases made. — JM
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
This potential sleeper of the vintage has come around nicely now that it is in bottle. Elegant yet substantial, it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a sweet bouquet of black currants, cassis, cedarwood, herbs, toast and loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin (a component that was not evident from barrel), it should drink nicely for 15 or more years.
Vinous: 89-91 Points
Opaque deep ruby. Candied violet, chocolate-covered dried blueberry and plum on the nose. Lovely balance to the fresh blackberry and blueberry flavors, with lively acidity extending the finish. There's sneaky concentration to this very well-made, graceful midweight, which should develop nicely and resolve some of its still-chalky tannins. An excellent vintage for Langoa.
