2008 - Chateau Croix Mouton Bordeaux Superieur

"Its opaque ruby/purple hue is accompanied by sweet aromas of graphite, charcoal, blackberries, and blue fruits. A blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc, it exhibits a beautiful texture, medium to full body, and a long finish. Another sleeper of the vintage, it should be consumed during its first 3-4 years of life." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 88-90 pts.
"Grape, blackberry and black pepper aromas follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a simple finish." -Wine Spectator, 85-88 pts.
