This was still incredibly youthful. Would never have guessed ‘89. — 5 months ago

@Doug Powers I have never had the opportunity to get a taste
@Doug Powers you purchased on release?
@Ira Schwartz , yes. I also purchased other Verset vintages, 1983/1985/1986/1988/1990, most of which are gone, but I know I still have the odd bottle of this or that vintage.

Excellent 08. Chave and Allemand really nailed the difficult vintage in Northern Rhône, and 2008 Hermitage is showing beautifully tonight, fresh, elegant and detailed with aromas of juicy red berry fruit, bacon, roasted herbs and smoky minerals. While not an exceptionally deep and concentrated rendition in 2008, it’s really a considerable success, and it’s fully open, giving and ready to drink. — 8 days ago
