Less powerful nose than expected, but some dark fruit and some earth notes. On the palate a rather thin composition with cherry, pepper and some orange peel in a very short finish. Not a memorable wine. Would more time in the cellar do a significant change? I doubt it but will try to wait another 3 years for the next bottle. 86-88P

Almost no nose. Expected brown rim. No fruit. What was there was very thin if not offensive. Nothing to recognise this as a quality wine of any sort. Thank goodness this was my last bottle of 12 purchased direct from their UK shipper.shall never buy Lamarche again. Sorry this is so downbeat. Everyone has been broadly the same. Anyone else had this prob with 2008 ?

Didn't pay too much attention to this wine. Initially somewhat awkward, though it seemed to settle in with some air; some elegance, fairly nice 2008. I should note that Mike picked up VA (which I did not, and I'm usually fairly sensitive to VA).
