This too is really quite good and should reward up to a decade of cellaring

A strikingly pure

the aggregate volume was no larger than in other recent vintages

The 2008 Malbec (priced just over the limit to qualify for the Value report)

A yield of 30hl/ha

Clos Mont Olivet, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_italy This too is really quiteFrom an uncomplicated and generous vintage that got a bit forgotten after 2009 and 2010 came along. Very meaty and savory on the nose and the full bodied palate. A bit closed at first, but after a bit of aeration in the glass a truffle note develops. Still a healthy base of fine tannins that drives the long, graceful finish. Drink or hold.
