Description

From Robert Parker, 94pts rating, drinking window 2015-2065, tasted in 2015
Very clear and precise in its concentrated and very elegant fruit aromas of pineapples, peaches and skinned tangerines, the 2008 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux reveals a great elegance and sappy fruit concentration on the palate migrating to a very dense and aromatic finish. Beautifully balanced and stunningly accessible today, there is no need to wait but – please have a look on the other wines of this tasting – dozens of good reasons to do so, nonetheless. The aromatic aftertaste reveals a lovely salinity and stimulating grip, and the gorgeous sweetness is very well integrated. Very accessible already and of great finesse. 2008 was a small, low-yielding vintage with tiny, thick-skinned berries that were difficult to press without the result of over-extraction. High malic acidity levels were reported from this vintage, though in this case the acidity is absolutely lovely and lifting.

Purchased from Wine Society, stored since in underground cellar. I haven't tried this wine in this vintage.
