Note di degustazione
Coming from the Castillon region of Bordeaux, the 2008 Clos Lunelles is a beauty that just oozes limestone-like minerality as well as top-notch notes of kirsch, currants, and dried flowers This medium-bodied effort is fully mature, yet has a silky texture, no hard edges, and a great finish. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, and it’s ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years.

(80% merlot and 10% each cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon): Fresh red-ruby color. Cassis, blackberry, plum and a whiff of herbs on the nose. Lush, moderately sweet and fine-grained; at once round and vinous thanks to harmonious acidity. Hints of spices and vanilla on the aftertaste, with broad tannins that spread out to coat the palate.
Surprisingly evolved and complex already, this wine is even more powerful than the 2010. Reaching 14.5% natural alcohol, the vines were cropped at an astonishingly low 20 hectoliters per hectare. A final blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, this wine is dense and rich, with a dark purple color, loads of creosote, camphor, black raspberry and blueberry fruit, as well as hints of sweet cherry and toasty oak. Lush, pure, full-bodied and intense, this is a stunning sleeper of the vintage, much like the 2010. It is capable of lasting at least a decade.
