@David A Lentine it was a great evening with friends and what a better way to enjoy it than with this fine bottle. Jennifer and I thank you so very much for sharing this. A distinctive red blend that is drinking perfect. Supple and smooth texture offering dark berry, blue fruits and plum. Ideally this is how all tannins should be integrated, wonderful! Nice long finish that shows puffs of smoke and the return of the fruit.

08' full-bodied explosive & complexed wine. Toasted oak, dark chocolate, rich black coffee, young & tannic. Drinking with depth & length. Great Bordeaux blend. Best years are in front of it!

Firing on all cylinders. Makes me want to open a bottle of the Kapcsandy Grand Vin '08 sooner than later.
