Tasting Notes |
---|
Over the next quarter of a century, it will be interesting to see how this 2008 matches up with La Lagune's prodigious 2005, the finest wine they have ever made. The opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2008 may be the second greatest wine yet produced here. Displaying sweet kirsch, black currant, cedar, smoke, and graphite aromas as well as an impressive thickness and glycerol richness, and a pure, nuanced character (because of the grapes' long hang-time and the small yields), this remarkable effort is long, textured, and impeccably well-balanced. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20-25. Drink: 2011-2026. Score - 92-94. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, April 2009)
