Clearly of classified growth quality, Lalande-Borie is produced by the winemaking team of "super second" Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou. Initially purchased to be incorporated into Ducru, its supple, graceful style was just too good to not warrant its own voice. The 2008 Lalande-Borie is deliciously perfumed with notes of wild violets, rose, red berry and a hint of Provençal herbs; on the palate, though not immense or intense, the flavors are nevertheless strikingly lush, deep, and refined. 14 months of aging in French oak barrels (1/3 new) provides a finishing polish of toasty vanilla oak. |

| Another sleeper of the vintage, this very stylish St.-Julien has a dark ruby/purple color, light tannins, but beautiful berry fruit intermixed with some underbrush, mocha, and floral notes. Fruity and already charming, this wine should drink nicely for 8-10 years.
