A big time sleeper of the vintage and a terrific success for Fieuzal, the 2008 is a wine to buy given its realistic price. Dense plum/purple-colored with a soaring bouquet of blue and black fruits, unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings and spring flowers, it is a suave, savory, medium to full-bodied, remarkably silky, appealing wine to enjoy over the next 12-15 years. Bravo!
This distinctive red offers dark, almost roasted flavors of plum, black bread, anise and espresso. Chewy tannins support the oak that frames the core of black fruit. A bit exaggerated, but has power.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
