2008 - Chateau La Gomerie

"A dense purple color is followed by a gorgeously sweet perfume of kirsch, black currants, toasty oak, and notions of coffee as well as flowers. Rich and unevolved, with a textured, full-bodied style as well as outstanding purity, power, and length, this 2008 is likely to merit an even higher score given the late malolactics. Sadly, just over 600 cases will be produced." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 93-95 pts.
"Sweet blackberry and licorice character on the nose. Full-bodied, with very polished and refined tannins. Long and silky, with subtle fruit." -Wine Spectator, 88-91 pts.
