Hachette
"Longtime readers know that Aurilhac is an unpretentious Bordeaux that ranks among my favorites. This superbly crafted Médoc offers great value for its price. The 2009 vintage reveals generous aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, earthy accents, and spicy notes mingled with subtle oak. With a melt-in-the-mouth texture, the long, juicy finish suggests it will be good to drink for 5 to 7 years."

Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About wine:
Year after year, this vintage confirms its quality as its vines mature. Its 2009 vintage has real aging potential, as indicated by its youthful color with purple highlights. The bouquet, which combines blackcurrant, licorice, vanilla, and tobacco, as well as the palate supported by well-coated tannins, are charming while confirming the promise of the presentation. A delicious wine to leave in the cellar for three or four years.
