La Romanee 2008 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 2008 La Romanee shows off the weightless elegance and sheer breed that only this site is capable of. Silky tannins frame the fruit in this totally elegant, understated Burgundy. The endless finish wafts on the palate for what seems like an eternity. This is a gorgeous wine from Liger-Belair. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033.

ight crimson. Dense. Scented and beguiling. Very nervy and racy. Much more ethereal than the echezeaux tasted immediately before. But still relatively light and with a hint of bitter cherries. Not an immediate seductress, this wine takes work. A bit sinewy. I would go for the Reignots on the basis of value... Super-fresh finish. This may well be one of those wines that is just so much more youthful than the rest that it will gain flesh.
