  Elegant from beginning to end. I rather doubt this could improve; I don’t know how long it will be before a decline. This was perfectly balanced, with sandalwood Pinot perfume, a mid-palate blending fruit, texture, and secondary notes, and a long soft finish. When I tasted this wine 10 years ago it was hard and tight; now it’s gentle, caressing and long. In a word, excellent.

  This was in mighty fine shape. Expressive, deep garnet coloring, balanced mouthfeel and silky. One of the best '08s I've opened, cellar patience was rewarded here. I'll be bold and call this at peak. Recommend enjoying now to get that cross over of dark red fruit and secondary elements.

  Bravo! The cork was a bit soft, with signs of seepage almost to the top. The juice, though, was in great shape. A wonderfully balanced and elegant wine — dark cherry, spice — a long finish. The side of the bottle was a little stained but almost no sediment. Bravo. I bought this wine on release … fortunately I have one more bottle left.

  I completely agree with all aspects of Cave d’Argent’s note.

  Fantastic. I loved this with Thanksgiving smoked turkey.
