The nose opens with blackcurrant, cassis, plum, and sweet spice, supported by vanilla, roasted herbs, graphite, and subtle earthy notes. Medium to full-bodied, it shows firm yet refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a layered, persistent finish with a touch of oak and tobacco. A “sleeping” vintage with strong ageing potential, it is built for long-term cellaring while already offering depth and classic Bordeaux character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":577,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":2,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"The Wine Advocate | RP 98\\nPublished: Nov 30, 2018\"}' data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate |\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 90\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: \u003cspan\u003eMay 2, 2011\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2013-2033\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in the tell-tale Kirwan style (medium to full-bodied, lots of muscle, concentration, and thickness), the dense purple-colored 2008 offers sweet blackberry and cassis fruit along with a layered mouthfeel. A sleeper of the vintage, this 2008 remains backward and thus will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring.
