Representing 40% of the production, this blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc offers aromas of high quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, earth, cedar and asphalt. Full, rich and stunningly concentrated, I doubt it is inferior to the 2010, just more classic as well as slightly more forward and a degree weaker in alcoholic potency (12.5% versus 13.5%). The 2008 should be relatively drinkable in 6-10 years as it is already showing remarkable complexity and breed, and will last for 30-35 years...at the minimum.” (05\/2011)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47830762062138,"sku":"101187220080100750","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9205\/2026\/files\/Chateau-Lafite-Rothschild-2008.jpg?v=1723436284","url":"https:\/\/clarets.com\/products\/chateau-lafite-rothschild-2008","provider":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
