One barrel produced from '08; this was shared by a friend and it was impressive. The color is still super dark and saturated to the rim; the nose is explosive and incredibly primary. Ripe cherry and raspberry, clove and cinnamon, violets and just a hint of fresh turned earth. The density on the palate is impressive with massive concentration and intensity, yet the wine doesn't feel heavy or big at all; an iron fist in a velvet glove type of feel. Incredibly impressive at 14 years old this seems like it will see its 40th year in fine form.

Very nice and aging well. Juicy fruits and a lengthy finish. Very good. Well recommended.
