Critics reviews
David Schildknecht 92/100
Blackberry, cassis, and rhubarb; blond tobacco sandalwood, and nutmeg mingle alluringly in the nose and on the ripely-fruited yet firmly tannic and subtly yet insistently tart-edged palate of 2008 Grange des Peres red. Animal blood and maritime mineral elements emerge as well in a long, expansive, multi-faceted finish.
There is considerable amplitude as well as tannic structure and palpable density here, and I expect that 2-3 years of enforced deprivation are in order before starting to chart the wine’s evolution in bottle over the subsequent 6-8.
Drink from 2013 onward
