Enjoyed the 2008 magnum at one of our favorite restaurants (eleven:eleven). Great wine. If you're looking for smoke this is it. Pops on your pallet

Apricot. Citrus fruit notes. Pleasantly tart but also floral and smooth. A really good wine.

It was good enough for our party to drink it exclusively for the whole evening, which happens never.

I'm not sure if it was this particular bottle or not. The color was gorgeous, almost blood-red. The flavors featured cherries, blackberry, an herbaceous quality, pleasant to drink to but it had been built up so much in my mind that I was a little disappointed.
