2009 Château Berliquet

Description

94    James Suckling
Great aromas of crushed blackberries and blueberries, follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, long finish. An absolute joy to taste. Best ever from here? Try in 2016.

91    Wine Spetcator
This cuts a broad, creamy path, with lush blueberry fig and plum fruit all rolled together, backed by warm cocoa and anise notes. Toasty grip supports the finish, but there’s enough exotic fruit here to soak that up, so this should give the hedonist crowd something to enjoy with moderate cellaring.

91    Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The wine displays oodles of strawberry jam intermixed with kirsch, dusty, loamy soil notes, garrigue, spice box and vanillin. It is full-bodied, opulent, very flamboyant and showy, with a hint of chalky minerality to add complexity and precision. It should drink well for up to 15 or more years.
