was able to pick up for $39 a bottle and at this price point is an exceptional value. Leather, tobacco nose. Wine a bit harsh at first tasting, but mellowed significantly after 20 minutes in the glass. Great cellar defender.

Still a bit young but began to open after 30 minutes in glass. Will be a nice mid-price 08, but will wait 12 months before next bottle.
