2008 Château Lafite Rothschild - Pauillac

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Pauillac

WS 91-94

This has a very intriguing nose. Already shows complex aromas of currant and crushed berries, with hints of dried flowers. Full-bodied and very chewy, with intense tannins, but polished and velvety. Long and pretty. The finish stays with you a long time. Score range: 91-94 JS

2008 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - Pauillac

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Pauillac

WA 92

The 2008 is a beauty in the style of the 1988. Although not performing as well as I predicted last year, it is unquestionably an outstanding effort as well as one of the better values from Pichon Lalande in many years. Its dense plum/purple hue is accompanied by sweet aromas of red and black currants, charcoal, herbs, underbrush and a hint of truffles. This medium-bodied, rich, concentrated blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc is an elegant, supple Pichon Lalande that can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years.The 2008 is a beauty in the style of the 1988.
