About this product
TASTING NOTE : One of the stars of the vintage , and a remarkable achievement in 2008 , with impressive richness , this dense purple colored wine is almost as opaque as the 2010 . Spring flowers , crushed rocks , creme de cassis and some subtle oak are followed by a full - bodied , concentrated wine that transcends the vintage character in its power , richness , and aging potential . It also exhibits tremendous precision , purity , and depth of character . It is more forward than the 2010 is likely to be , but probably not as sumptuous as the 2009 will turn out to be . This is a wine to buy . Anticipated maturity : 2016 - 2035 . Score : 95 + ( Robert Parker Jr ., erobertparker . com , May 2011 )
