Château de Gironville 2008 - Cru Bourgeois

Haut-Médoc|Red wine

3.3/5 (11 customers)

Notes: RVF 15.5–17.5/20, Gerbelle & Maurange 15/20, Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine), Decanter 3*, Jancis Robinson 16.5/20
“This 2008 makes no secret of its ambitions. These are immediately apparent in the intensity and complexity of the bouquet, where the mocha notes from the oak barrels envelop the prune and blackcurrant without overwhelming them. This aromatic richness carries over to a palate that is at once rich and elegant, powerful and subtle. It has what it takes to withstand long aging: ten years, according to the tasters. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)
