Chateau Malartic Lagraviere rouge 2008

- 93 Punkte NEAL MARTIN auf erobertPARKER.com: "Tasted ex-chateau and single blind in Southwold. The Malartic-Lagraviere 2008 has a very ripe, floral bouquet with a lot of vanillary new oak with dark cherries, raspberry and here, a hint of tangy marmalade in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins. Ripe and vivacious, rounded with good acidity cutting through the ripe cassis and blackberry finish. Almost Pauillac in style with great focus, this is a superb wine from the Bonnie family. Tasted January 2012. 2013-2030." 
- 93 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST und BEST OF YEAR 2011: "A powerful, ripe wine, solid tannins and rich black plum and currant fruits. The wine is very much in the Malartic-Lagravière style of rich, dense fruits layered with tannins." 
- 17,5 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON: "Blackish crimson. Very minerally on the nose - intense! Round and supple on the palate. Intriguing wine unlike any other. Pretty firm tannins but very ambitious. Need to wait. 2018-2030." 
- RENE GABRIEL: "Dunkles Rubin-Granat. Süssliches Bouquet, helle Röstnoten, Wildkirschen, Himbeeren, zeigt recht viel Druck im Ansatz. Saftiger Gaumen, fein stoffig, gut ausgelegt im Extrakt, rote Johannisbeeren und Maulbeeren, zeigt Muskeln und Säure im Nachklang."
- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "This is very rich and powerful with a chewy tannins, wet earth, chocolate and spice character. Full body, velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Pretty now to drink but even better in two or three years. (Publish Date: Thursday, June 16, 2016)"
