Last of my ‘08s and had me nervous at pop, cloudy and a little dead on the nose. Sure thing it just blossomed with air in mushroom and stewed strawberry glory. Who knew?

This is still one of my favorite vintages of this wine. It’s become bold black cherry with soft oak and spice. It’s silky smooth and a full mouth feel. Sad this is my last bottle of this year.
