Here is 2008 with a velvety texture yet the underlying bright acidity comes through at the same time. Medium to full body firm and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Very pretty and energetic. Just opening now.
Decanter: 92 Points
A cool summer and a beautiful autumn resulted in the grapes being left on the vines for a long time to fully ripen with picking commencing in October. Packed full of Médoc character this has cedar menthol leather and cigar box notes - a brilliant lesson in classic Bordeaux. It's extremely approachable and drinkable and is showing some walnut character already softened around the edges with lovely smoky notes and gourmet touches and a mouthwatering minty sign off with juicy lift on the finish. It should stay on this plateau for a long while yet. Harvest ran from 2 to 21 October with a high yield of 47hl/ha. 60% new oak.
