It's been a while since I opened one of these and it's in a really good place now. No question that a splash decant helped, so I'll sit on my remaining bottles another year or two. Based on this, I'm not in a rush to open my 2008 SVDs but I can see them being ready in the next few years.

Pop 'n' pour with a lot of swirling. Very good with lots of rich fruit and crisp acidity, but way too young. Still quite tight. Plenty of fruit to last, so I'm giving my remaining bottles a couple of years minimum.

I held on to my bottles of this because I don't mind a bit of brett and it was limited in the first couple. It has gotten much more extreme, however, the band-aid characteristics becoming overpowering. Most of this bottle went down the drain. Still drinkable if you are very brett tolerant but I'm glad this was my last bottle.
