Château Le Boscq St Estephe 2008
(cask sample of final blend)
Gravelly, violetty nose with spicy oak and dark fruits. Lovely
structure and purity of fruit, with nice focus and minerality.
90–93/100
Château Le Boscq St Estephe 2002
Minerally with some evolution and attractive gravelly notes.
Earth and mineral characters, too. The ripe dark fruits are very
stylish – this is evolving beautifully. 92/100
Château Le Boscq St Estephe 2004

with good structure. Very nice wine. 93/100
Château Le Boscq St Estephe 2006
