P: M Body, decent balance; An unusual flavor [almost like I'd imagine tires?] which I can't quite place: perhaps a bit coffee-like? While not "my" style, it did grow on me. Based on this bottle I'd drink any more within the next yr -- if not sooner.

Deep garnet- purplish color with a complex nose of red raspberry and vanilla. Decanted 1 hour. Black cherry, black raspberry, currants, some cedar, vanilla, black pepper spice and anise. Tannins still a bit rough and need a couple of years.

I am a big fan of the 2008 Markham. We did not let this open for long, but it was still a very good bottle.
