still young: dark fruit and light scents of spices, in the mouth 2008 is shining through with an acidity that still needs some more years to fully integrate. Tasted alongside the 2005 which was a powerhouse even needing more years in the cellar!

The Triple Threat "165" Birthday Bash (65/60/40) (Minikahda Club, Mpls): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes plus. This was a little more brooding and introspective for me tonight. Nice darker cherry fruit, clay, tart cherry, some dark fruit too, powerful, spiced, more dense and full on the palate, anise. This seemed like it was just coming into its window and would benefit from a good bit of air. Flighted with an '06 DRC 1er Duvalt-Blochet that had more finesse and complexity tonight. A very nice bottle that will likely be better in a couple years.

Nose of forest floor, a bit closed, red berries... Nice concentration, but cold vintage, tannin integrated, a bit light on it's feet...

Too light fruited & lacking harmony, unusual for this domaine. Slightly better than the Ruchottes which added a layer structure/austerity

En majestetisk og komplett vin som har det meste. En vin for nytelse heller enn analyse. Kan bare si at den var den beste 08 smakt.
