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.
An open, generous wine that sings easily. It has great ripe berry fruit, with fresh acidity as well as weight and richness, making it more powerful than some vintages of this wine.
Bright blackberry and currant aromas, with flowers. Cool and fresh on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and juicy fruit." (Tasting Highlight, 04/09) 89-91 points Stephen Tanzer: "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.
