In the mouth, the strength and classic style of this wine become apparent.

Representing 40% of the production, this blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc offers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich and stunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, just more classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weaker in alcoholic potency (12.5% versus 13.5%). The 2008 should be relatively drinkable in 6-10 years as it is already showing remarkable complexity and breed, and will last for 30-35 years... at the minimum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProdMakerNote_copy\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003eElegance in a glass, this is very upright in structure with enticing acidity and black berry fruits.
