The nose is more subtle than previous tastings. Still strong black Plum and raspberry notes. Tannins and acidity are still strong on the palate, so maybe this has more length than the drinking window suggests. The mouth feel is big and round, and black Plum and raspberry notes abound. Not a lot of other notes, mostly fruit focused. Very dry finish, not too long, but long enough to get afternotes of more dark fruit. Too bad it’s my last one!

It was my last 2008 bottle and it did not disappoint. What a wine. Smooth tannin's, still a bit of acidity, well rounded and really long on the palate. Wow, what a wine!

This displayed beautiful seasoned wood spice, slightly salty, slightly savory, darker in fruit profile but showed well in its age.

Aged garnacha. This has crossed from primary to secondary flavors.
