Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red - 2008 (750ml) Size:750ml Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-BrionThe 2008 Proprietary Red Wine blend has a more opaque purple color. With more graphite, blueberry and lilac notes, sweet tannin, medium to full body, and an elegant, gracious feel, it is more restrained than previous examples but has no shortage of richness and concentration. It looks to be a beauty in a Bordeaux style, with sweet tannins but loads of fruit unmistakably California but French in structure. 93 Points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #192,
