Our 2008 vintage possesses a complex and highly perfumed nose of red fruits, ripe vineyard peaches and spicy notes (black pepper and nutmeg). The structure is balanced and elegant throughout. The tannins are fine, with a finish that mirrors the initial fragrant fruit nose. We would recommend opening the wine and decanting prior to tasting.
Reviewer: Ian d'Agata

Bright ruby-red with a purple tinge. Pungent, musky aromas of black cherry, licorice and dried herbs are lifted by a violet topnote. Enters slightly vegetal, then opens to reveal ripe red cherry and cranberry flavors. The still-youthful tannins coat the palate on the long, high-acid finish. Very much an infant and quite backward, this will need time. Incidentally, this is the first vintage for which Michel Tesseron's son Basil was in charge here.
