Boy, pleasant surprise in this still juicy 115 from 08. Did not think I had any single clones as old. Spicy, long finish, minimal brown edges, still on the fresh side, a great one to uncover in the cellar.

Dark ruby, cedar nose. Dry with light tannins, tart berry, cola, medium body. This is good on the PnP, lovely acid driven fruit, just the slightest bitter midway to the finish, I do not find a little bitter detracting. I'm looking for some significant improvement with a little air. This may be one of my favorites in the '08 line up.

Drinking beautifully. A great example of a 08 that has cellared gracefully.
