"The 2008 Griotte is also outstanding, and again couples great purity with sappy and opulent fruit. The bouquet is a superb blend of red and black cherries, bitter chocolate, a touch of grilled meat, a superb base of soil, espresso and a bit of mustard seed in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a sappy attack and a very soil-driven backend of ripe tannins and tangy acids. A classic vintage of Ponsot Griotte."
