2008 Chateau Haut Marbuzet, Saint Estephe (Magnum) (Damaged Label)

"The 2008 Haut Marbuzet has a generous, expressive red cherry and strawberry coulis scented bouquet with hints of kirsch and desiccated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannin. This feels succulent and harmonious, a seam of spice that surfaces towards the second half, allied with pencil lead and white pepper. There is quite a lot going on here and I can see this ageing with style. Drink 2018-2030."  Neal Martin, Vinous.com, May 2018
