Although Cabernets from the 2007 harvest have earned plenty of justifiable praise, 2008 has its successes as well, and here is an instance where the younger wine reaches a bit further than its older mates. Bigger, richer and altogether more complex, this one is optimally ripened, beautifully oaked and simply brimming with continuous blackcurrant fruit. Its tannins are neither more nor less than good structure requires, and it look good to go for another six to ten years.
