First time trying the 2008 - Spectacular balance - power and finesse. Lemon brioche with the chalk even coming though on the nose. The palette is just grand - long and winding. Fresh acid but the mid and finish are soft and long. Hard to have sufficient words. Can’t imagine this in 10 years. — 16 days ago

Excellent fresh lemon — petrol - nice subtle rubber. Medium acid and this wine held on beautifully for a floral finish — 20 days ago

This was interesting - a bit sweet. Not a typical jam but also not mine. I thought there would be more depth. There was not. Warmer climate sem’ - also 6 years of bottle age, thought it would be something bigger — a month ago

Strawberry spice, long and complex. Big and full mouthfeel with strawberry jam and acid. Just great. — a month ago

Deep tannins - well structured. Big without being over the top. Not overly complex but an enjoyable mouthfeel — 19 days ago

Toasted gram cracker to start which morphs into this old raspberry component which moves towards spicy - the mouthfeel is oxidative with strawberries with some acid hanging on at the mid. The finish is relatively short but without any bitterness. Interesting but not outstanding - I think this auction bottle has some age to it. — 23 days ago

Red apple nose - baking spices. Fairly one dimensional. The mouthfeel was fleshy, medium acid. Finish drops off pretty aggressively. — a month ago
