A delicious, impressive, stunningly seductive offering, the 2008 Bon Pasteur exhibits spicy, mocha, coffee bean, black currant and sweet mulberry aromas and flavors. With silky tannins, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, admirable purity and an irresistible personality, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. 93 Points, The Wine Advocate (2011)
With an ambitious profile of plum cake, fig bread, Turkish coffee and smoked apple wood, this pulls it off, with the flesh and integrated structure for balance and length. Additional mulled spice and pastis notes add even more on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 91 Points, The Wine Spectator (Dec 2010)
