Potentially the finest Rouget I have ever tasted, the 2008 transcends its terroir. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet kirsch, black raspberry, and loamy soil characteristics offered in a full-bodied, opulent, sexy, lush wine with a stunningly long finish. It will be drinkable early in life, and should evolve for 15-20 years.
