2008 vintage. Medium ruby and medium intensity of aroma of dull black fruits and dull oak / wood. Black plum and sweet spice (cinnamon and nutmeg) on palate. Tannins are medium and soft. Medium alcohol (13.3% Abv) medium plus acidity and medium plus length. The wine lacks personality, concentration and length relative to expectation. 86% merlot and 14% cab franc.

Great showing. Blackcurrant, flowers, cedar and a dollop of mint. Medium bodied, oh so elegant, fresh, balanced, bottle finishes and you keep asking for more. Drink or hold if you can. Very highly recommended !!!

Had 2008 vintage at the end of a right bank saint-Julien sequence culminating with a 2005 Ch. Leoville Barton..... it was interesting to see the influence of vintage verses against great wine houses. The 2005 was superior in terms of nose and structure.
