| Tasting note |
The bouquet is backward with scents of crushed stones, mulberry, blueberry and a touch of garrigues (wild fennel.) then with time a wonderful scent of smoky bacon crisps. The palate is full-bodied with svelte tannins, superb definition and elegant. This could be Michel’s best 2008 but it is much more feminine in style than previous vintages.
