Probably the finest wine I have ever tasted from this St.-Emilion estate, the 2008 Le Prieure exhibits an inky/ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of camphor, black fruits, underbrush, and spice. Dense and medium to full-bodied with no hard edges, this is a substantial, velvety-textured 2008 to drink over the next 10-12 years.
