Asili's small, circular vineyard catches a spectrum of exposures from its modest 230–290m elevation, its calcareous-clay soil with sand veins conferring profound finesse. The 2008—from a powerful, cool-ripened vintage—is a brooding masterpiece of structure and nerves. Nearly two decades in, it remains imposing and mineral, demanding cellaring patience but promising magnificent maturation through the 2040s.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"Good bright, dark red. Enticing, Burgundian aromas of cherry, raspberry, wild herbs, spices and truffle, accented by high notes of rose petal and orange peel. Rich, round and fat with concentrated fruit, but given a light touch by harmonious acidity. A real fruit bomb, with complicating nuances of spices and herbs. The rising finish features very fine-grained tannins that arrive late and explosive juicy freshness. Has the firm spine and reserve to support a long and graceful evolution in bottle. A great vintage for this cru." —Stephen Tanzer
