2008 a good to very good vintage depending on the producer and region. I’ve had the 2008 a few years ago. The bottle from my collection, better. This one is not in decline, just not as enjoyable. Still shows a fair amount of earthiness where the bottle from my collection did not. In fairness, I gave mine a good decant and this bottle had been open but not decanted. Emirates Lounge Dubai with Wagyu filet.

2008, A great Bordeaux that needs more time to reach its peak. It was decanted a bit before sipping but not enough. The wine had a deep Bordeaux color, the nose is full of black current, chocolate , coffee and smokey earth, it has a full body with firm tannin that needs to open up and will soften with time, long dry finish. My score 90+, drink 2016-2022

Dark almost black color, tar tobacco leathery nose, rich luscious chewy fruit with gentle tannins and great structure. Very enjoyable now but great for the next 5-10 years.

Dark fruit, blackcurrant, blackberries, licorice, some cedar and a touch of graphite, very typical left bank aromas to go with a lush and velvety palate, rich and elegant, structured and balanced, good length, really good 2008 LB. 93-94 Très rive gauche au nez, cassis, cèdre, graphite, de la violette aussi et réglisse. Une bouche riche et généreuse, puissante et élégante, beaucoup de classe et un équilibre exemplaire avec une excellente finale, très beau 2008. 93-94
