Best 2008 I have had this year. When looking at my past notes I will say that the fruit has faded some and the tannins are now silky smooth. I would agree that you should drink now. This year I have yet to have and '08 or older CA cabernet that is better now than it was a couple of years ago.

Last minute PnP at a Tokaj tasting with Samuel Tinon @ Liquid Assets Cellars... drank alongside 14 L Aventure cote e cote, 13 Rivers Marie...all were great but both the others were a bit closed, and the Quivet was in its prime. I do think it's unfortunately at the beginning of the end of it's drinking window..so going to drink the last 2 in the next year or two, though think it probably hold a bit longer. The '08 Spring Mtn was the bottle that hooked me on Mikes wines!!

Pop & Pour. Very dark color. Strong tannins and also very smooth. My last bottle for this vintage, but many more to look forward to.
