Monday, June 1, 2009 - Bordeaux 2008 (Bordeaux): A very fresh nose with floral notes, white pepper and some hints of fine milk chocolate. The palate is juicy, even sumptuous, with good sap and concentration, also giving off a Cabernet Franc-driven mint freshness (86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc). The 90% new oak is well integrated û a very fine effort from this remarkable estate, but, again, I do not get the same depth as in 2006, nor the peerless balance and sheer poetry of the 2005! 92-95
