Rating: 3.6 (35 reviews)

3.6/5 (35 customers)

Note: Robert Parker 93/100
"The 2008 Besllum is composed of 45% Grenache, 45% Cariñena, and 10% Syrah, and is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels. Also dark in color, it displays an appealing bouquet of wood smoke, exotic spices, incense, lavender, blueberry, and black cherry. In the glass, it is opulent, full of sweet fruit, and volume. Give it another 2-3 years, drink from 2013 to 2023. (Wine Advocate May 2011 - Robert Parker)

Review and opinion by Mr. CLAUDE P. Published on 06/21/2016

A great discovery in 2008, a very pleasant surprise. A round, indulgent wine. Mellow tannins. Pure bliss.
