While the 2008 is not a blockbuster, it is a strong effort for the vintage. This dark plum/purple-hued wine reveals some background oak, licorice, earth, plum, black currant and cherry notes intertwined with a foresty/mossy component. Deep, polished and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, it builds incrementally on the palate. This impressive 2008 will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and should drink well for two decades.90 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateLimpid, brilliant. Dark slightly violet colour. Floral nose with black currant, red fruit, white pepper and spices. Frank, tannic attack. Chocolate and hazelnut. A beautifully balanced finish. The wine is still closed but shows a fine potential. Great length. Very pleasant to taste now but it is preferable to keep it for a few yearsCabernet Sauvignon 61% Merlot 29%Cabernet Franc 5% Petit Verdot 5%
