Wine Advocate 85 / 100 byRobert Parkerthe2/1/2009 The second wine, the 2006 De Carles, is a soft, fruity, straightforward effort that seems almost like an afterthought. However, it will provide pleasant drinking over the next 5-6 years.
Jancis Robinson 15.50 / 20 byJancis Robinsonthe4/20/2007 A Dubourdieu wine. Full heavy wine with strong botrytis influence – very clean and full and pear juice. Not the weight of some – just a bit green and skinny – but fresh and great for a first course. Hint of a metallic note on the finish. Bit simple.
