To keep in line with the 2009 Herencia, finished with this 2008 vintage.
+ Nose : dried, but ripe fruits, very herbal, very spicy, some heat, pepper, paprika, some mint as well + Taste : follow the nose, very juicy, less harder then before, raisins + Finish : very intense, black fruits, still quite hard at this stage
Nice to try the odd bottle now and then, clearly it mellows down over the years, but also keeps the crunchy black fruit !

Very little to fault at this stage, maybe a tad too young right now. Overall, a great bottle of wine, it brings a smile to the face from uncorking till the last drop !
