"With dense fruit, medium to full body, and an opaque purple color, this 2008 is a modern take on St.-Emilion. It possesses outstanding density and richness, sweet tannin, copious red and black fruits, and hints of minerality, spring flowers, and new oak. This well-made, deep wine should drink well for 10-15 years."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
