Sunday, July 6, 2008 - Initially a bit hard-edged, and missing the fruit of the bigger, riper vintages. However, after some time, this eventually became quite nice. After 1+ hour of air, the black currant, cassis and berry flavors came alive, and this showed very well. Impeccable balance, with a lot of structure that makes me think this will last for a while, but will probably never be as generous with providing enjoyment once the fruit starts to fade. (Score is based on the improvement with air.)
