BEAULIEU COMTES DE TASTES 2008 FUTURE

  

This wine continues to be the epitome of value with a spectactular 2008.  Robert Parker writes..."This is one of Bordeaux’s finest run over-achievers. Yields in 2008 were a lowly 19 hectoliters per hectare, and the crop was harvested between October 17-22. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with sweet black cherry, cedar, and spice box notes, a lush texture, and a fresh, pure style. This blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon is best drunk in its exuberant youth, but should age nicely for 2-3 years. A sleeper of the vintage."
