2008 - Chateau de Fieuzal

"A brilliant effort from De Fieuzal, the dense purple-hued 2008 exhibits aromas of sweet cassis, black cherry liqueur, licorice, smoke, and herbs, sweet tannin, a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated mouthfeel, and a long, impressively pure, well-textured finish. It is one of the finest wines made at this estate over the last two decades." Reviewed by Robert Parker. -The Wine Advocate, 90-93 pts.
"Offers notes of mineral, violet and other flowers. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and very clean fruit. Minerally and fresh on the finish." -Wine Spectator, 87-90 pts.
