I was a little surprised. This was my last bottle and when I had it in 2022, most of the fruit was gone. Well the fruit returned and when I decanted, very little sediment. Still past it's prime, but a nice improvement from my last experience.

I would agree with others that it's time has passed. When opened it was very acidic. After a two hour decant the acid taste subsided but there was very little fruit to enjoy. At one time this was a 92 to 94 point wine. If only we could have a crystal ball to tell us how wines will develop over time.

My last bottle, and I found it to be well past its prime. Still alive, but nothing of note and certainly not what I expect of V29... Hopefully, if you have any left they have fared better than this. Seems to be specific to the 2008, as other vintages on either side are still kicking...

Moderate sediment. Smooth, aging gracefully. Almost a sweetness to the red and blue fruit. Very pleasant, but not necessarily exciting.
