    The team's opinion

    2008 is a winemaker's vintage. Less sun-drenched than 2009 or 2010, it appeals to lovers of classic Bordeaux, favoring elegance and tension over high alcohol levels. It's a wine that is just beginning to reach its ideal drinking window, but it still has decades of aging potential.
