The 2008 S.L.V. is the 35th vintage
since the 1973 S.L.V. won the Paris Tasting in 1976. This rich and
generous Cabernet Sauvignon opens with crushed blackberry and ripe
plum aromas, accented by notes of anise, fennel and cedar.
Full-bodied and supple, the wine fl ows smoothly across the palate.
The wine’s texture is reminiscent of enjoying a dark chocolate
covered caramel with sea salt. Dark fruit and spice linger on the
fi nish.
Serve S.L.V. with braised lamb shanks
with star anise or pork tenderloin with fresh
rosemary.
