| Tasting note |
A beautiful deep purple color as well as sweet aromas of incense, charcoal, black fruits, and a hint of black truffles are found in this deep, medium to full-bodied 2008. With pure fruit, good acids, and finely grained, ripe, well-integrated tannins, this impressively endowed, yet unevolved offering may compete with La Gaffeliere's fabulous 2005, and should age for 20-25 years. By Robert Parker.
Bright and hard. Edgy and energetic with blackberry and chocolate. Medium to full body, firm tannins. Needs time, but I like it. By James Suckling. |
