Vintage information 2008:

The reds: Brightness, focus and purity - 3 words for a vintage. 2008s are much more 'serious' wines than the friendly-faced 2007s, perhaps with peaks that may surpass those in 2006. Drink young or old - in-between only if you like acidity.
For Whites: What would happen if you made a hypothetical blend of 2006 and 2007? I would say than in many cases you would get the 2008 vintage - minerality and acidity but with good ripeness, they are very hard to resist!

2008 Latour Henri, Auxey-Duresses Les Grands ChampsDec. 2010
Initially tigher at the core – slightly darker red fruit aromas – it took a while, but the last drops smell lovely; that 2008 precision engineering. Fine width and very good acidity yet with sufficient padding. The flavour grows well in the mid-palate.
