86 Vinous
The 2008 Les Tourelles de Longueville has an attractive bouquet with earthy red berry fruit, cedar and smoke, very Pauillac in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite angular at first, moderate depth with a cedar and tobacco-infused finish that needs to muster more complexity. This does seem to improve with aeration and coalesced in the glass, so do not be afraid to give it a short decant. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 10-Year On tasting.Neal Martin1st May 2018
