ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A strong effort, the 2008 was made from tiny yields of 28.5 hectoliters per hectare, and attained 14 natural alcohol. It reveals sweet licorice, black currant and blackberry fruit notes intermixed with truffle and asphalt characteristics in its pure, rich, opulent, full-bodied personality. One of the finest St.-Emilions of the vintage, it is far more accessible than the 2010 and should continue to drink well for 15-20 years.
