Feels very rich and blueberry end flavor — 5 years ago
Dark ruby color. Aromas of dark berry fruit, leather, sweet spices and roasted nuts. Cooked Black berry/raspberry/cherry fruit on the palate with notes of dark chocolate, plums and sweet and savory spices. Hint of vanilla on the long and silky finish. Smooth tannins but a bit light on acidity. Pleasant and well crafted. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 5 months ago
The first couple times I tried 08 I was definitely too quick to judge. It needs a ton of air, and it’s different from the rich, oxidative, nutty house style of the past, particularly the warm and ultra forward 2006, the previous release. 2008 is indeed young, tightly wound with a pulsating core of energy.
The first glass offers very little. Subdued, austere and youthfully reserved. But ensuing pours eventually unleash its core of powerful clean orchard fruit, coffee bean and grilled nuts. On the palate it continues to become so much more textural with crazy gains in weight, depth and fruit intensity as the night goes on. It really fills the mouth, saturating the palate with a satin-like texture, ripping citrusy acids and saline laced minerals that follow deep into its finish. Enjoyable now with enough air (needs 2 hours), but no doubt one to hold. To live forever. — 3 years ago
