February 2, 2022 - Nose with cherries with some blackcurrants and red berries, mineral (gravel), some leather and hints of garrigue, oak vanilla and flowery notes. Medium bodied with aromas of cherries, red berries and blackcurrants, good acidity, minerality of the gravelly kind and some tannic bite. A fresh aftertaste. Rather firm at this stage, developed in the glass, could benefit from time in the cellar, 91(+) pts.
The 2008 is definitely lighter in style than my recollection of 2006 and 2007 but has a fine balance.4 people found this helpful 7,081 views
