Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 23
The 2008 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has great transparency on the nose: red cherries and raspberries, lovely sous-bois notes and a light touch of wild mint mixed with dried herbs. The palate is very well balanced with a more "airy" composition compared to the 2010 tasted alongside. Again, it is the transparency that really marks this out. With tangy orange peel on the precise finish, this is impressive, considering the challenges of this season. Tasted blind at the Wallace brothers' Xmas dinner.
