96-98 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "08 Château Providence was almost opaque. Smelling the wine reminded me of walking into a florist shop and finding chocolate dripped all over the floor, while simultaneously munching on dark, spicy berries to curb your hunger. A sexy, ripe, and lush wine with a seemingly endless, decadent finish. (7/30/09)"

95-97 points Robert Parker: "This is the first superstar wine Christian Moueix has produced from this vineyard beautifully situated on the plateau of Pomerol. Made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, it was harvested in October (as were most top Pomerols), and reveals a powerful, rich, massive style that is atypical for a Moueix offering. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of black cherries, black currants, blackberries, licorice, and even a hint of truffles. Deep, full-bodied, and powerful with high tannins, huge depth, and a seamless integration of its component parts, this appears to be an utterly profound wine that should age effortlessly for 20-30 years. Drink: 2009-2039. (4/28/09)"
