RATINGS

94Wine Spectator

Broad and powerful, with a firm underlying structure that allows the lemon, toast and baking spices to take center stage, followed by an excellent finish. Nonetheless, this is balanced toward the structure now,..

..delicious, round and quite generous medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth on the focused and unusually powerful finish...This is quite simply terrific and while there is good power, the '08 Pucelles remains a wine of finesse.

91-92Stephen Tanzer

Ripe peach, minerals, flowers and a whiff of honey on the nose, lifted by spicy and peppery nuances. Concentrated and densely packed, with lemon and lime fruit flavors framed and lifted by minerals and spices.

17Jancis Robinson

...Minerals, not obvious fruit at this stage. This will presumably be a very slow burner. Extremely firm but impressive length. Baby Chevalier...
