Intense dark fruit balanced with aged tannins and great acidity. The nose was a good preview of the taste, full and intense. Decanted and filtered... opened up in about a half hour. Easily can hold up for several more years.

Big dark-chocolate nose. Well balance at this point and a delight to have as a sipping wine. This is at the right stage to drink... Some years left but certainly no reason to wait. Aerated into a decanter for about an hour then "recanted" (my favorite thing to do!) back into the bottle and served to guests after dinner.

One hour after decant, it opened up. Smooth and silky, with just the right amount of fruit. My last 2008... Have to move on to the next vintages.
