Super classic, refined and elegant, offering grainy tannins, cedar, red and dark berries, dusty minerality and hints of chocolate. No rush here, but won't last forever.

Phenomenal wine and perfect accompaniment to a wonderful meal…..
However, this is usually one of our favorite (highest rated……by way of our very complex tasting algorithm 😉 ) wines of the year but for some reason this 2008 vintage was just missing something…..still great but not the best we’ve had

Great future but the 08’s are too young & need a another 5-10 yrs.

A bit tight and not as much in the nose. Had a nice decant. Good mouthfeel. 08 might not be a great vintage for this otherwise great producer.

I would revisit in another 10 years as this is showing a lot of tannins with some Black fruits along with cedar, smoke, mineral and green tea notes. Just needs more time to strut it's stuff!
