Classified Red Wine. Cru Classe de Graves in 1959. This producer also makes a white wine. Ensure your merchant has the color you are looking for
Expert tasting note: (2008 vintage) "Deep, dark color is almost opaque. Delicious cassis fruit on the nose is quite restrained. Dark fruit on the palate needs to open, but there are plenty of toasty oak & coffee grounds notes. Acid is balanced, alcohol is a touch warm & length is fairly good. This is an elegant modern-style wine." - 11/12 DCAMW

2008 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2018
With a developed nose of truffle, forest greenery, cedar wood and tobacco, the wine is medium bodied and fresh. The attack is better than the finish, which leaves with you a blend of herbs, and spicy, red fruits.

2008 Vintage
Tasted: Jul 2011
90-92 Barrel sample. A ripe style, rich, rounded, with a dense concentration. A ripe, full-bodied, almost Burgundian style.
2008 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2010
A chewy young red, with plum and vanilla aromas and flavors. Full and juicy yet tight and rich. Give it a few years to soften. Best after 2012.

RP100 짜리 와인을 마신 뒤에 마셨는데도 많이 꿀리지 않았음. 개인적으로 메독와인을 그리 좋아하는 편은 아닌데 이건 그라브쪽이어서 그런건진 몰라도 맛있게 마셨음.
