Nez moyennement expressif, boisé, fruit rouge un peu confit. En bouche belle ampleur, bien équilibré avec de beaux tanins. Belle longueur. Peut se conserver encore plusieurs annees

Cocoa. Pain grillé. Dark fruits - plums and cassis. Cinnamon. Nutmeg. Nicely structured. Smooth as silk, yet powerful - balance. Very good freshness. Very long. Very nicely settled in. Fabulous. I drink about one a year of this vintage and they are really progressing very nicely. Loads more time ahead on this, although it has drunk very nicely for quite a while now

First 2008 Bordeaux I’ve opened, and a great choice. Needs lots of air. Rich, velvety texture. Great fruit without being overwhelming. Paired beautifully with 60 day porterhouse
