Lovely 08 entering its window. Typical 08. Good, strong, just ripe, stern but balanced on back end.

Took some time to get here. I thought it had reached its peak and then well... It peaked. The pallet became much broader and rounder and many more subtle nuances appeared. Beautifully balanced. Loved it.

Solid, nice fruity aroma with good development, pleasant, a little aggressive on mouthfeel still.

Quite aromatic. Savory. You can taste the whole cluster. Very complex. Still young and structured. Tends to the savory.
