Product Description
JD95 "The 2008 continues to show beautifully, and it's certainly in its prime drink window. Lots of ripe black cherry fruits, truffly earth, tobacco, chocolate, and chalky minerality define this beauty, and it's full-bodied, with a round, expansive, opulent mouthfeel, ripe yet still present tannins, a terrific sense of freshness, and a great finish. A gorgeous Saint-Emilion, it has another 20 years of prime drinking ahead of it." JD Nov 2021
RP94+ "Another top-notch effort, the 2008 is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc produced from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare. It reached 14% natural alcohol, no doubt because of the extremely late harvest. A deep purple color is accompanied by massive notes of blackberries, incense, fruitcake, camphor and toasty oak intermixed with a crushed chalk-like minerality (a hallmark of this vineyard). The wine has softened considerably in bottle, and while it seems more structured than the 2010, it reveals a degree of accessibility." RP May 2011
