Very fruit forward. Definitely delicious. Intersted to see how this will progress over the next few years. Lacking a little element to grab my interest.
Really interesting nose - seemed like a minty or eucalyptus thing going on. Big fruit but more iinteresting to me than the '07. I think it will age really nicely over the next few years.
One of the most purple colored wines I can recall. Medium bodied with cherries, eathy and cementy. The Syrah really seems to give a lift to the finish. An interesting blend to be sure.

Grapefruit-like acidity. Medium bodied. Fragrant, citrusy nose. Maybe a little nutty on the nose too? Some candied fruits.

Coffee and butterscotch on the nose with some earthy funk. Would not have guessed PN from the nose. Full bodied but seemed hot and unbalanced.
