I want to be honest up front with this one, the 2008 vintage in Bordeaux is one of my least favorite of the last ten or so, but, having said that, the 2008 Chateau de Ferrand is a solid, enjoyable wine. It carries a lot of the hallmarks of a Saint-Emilion red and has an intriguing, dominant pomegranate flavor, which sounds irritating, but was truly pleasant. Be sure to decant this one as it is young and a bit tight, but I do not think it will improve all that much with time, at least not enough to justify cellaring for long.
