  Decanted 40 minutes before serving
  
  Color: garnet red with signs of aging on the rim
  
  Nose: God I love the nose on the Viader! Violet-like perfume with strong notes of candied dates, dried blackberry bramble and cassis.
  
  Taste: Age has rewarded this wine very well. Dried fruits of blackberry bramble, leather, mature herbs, chocolate, espresso, smoke & earth.
  
  At 15.1% , the body is noticeable but never overpowering or hot. High acid with mellow yet still drying tannins.
  
  Overall, this is a stunning wine. Drink these 08s now until 2030

  Coravined. Deep magenta color. Strawberry , fig, pomegranate, and subtle minerality. Super smooth, dry palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish. 69% CS and 31% CF.
  
  This has aged very well. It’s a touch earthy, but not so much obvious age.
